Welcome everyone!
The Starthrower Foundation takes its name and work ethic from the spirit of Loren Eiseley’s story: ‘The Star Thrower’. So I though I would illustrate it as a ‘prologue’. Hope it inspires you.
$1,800 is my next goal.
Join me in making a difference, one person at a time.
About this Fundraiser
Hi, my name is Daniel Lafrance and I made these stories to raise funds for the Starthrower Foundation in Haiti to sponsor young Haitians adults for high school education.
$600 gives one Haitian the chance to go to high school for a year. This includes school fees, school supplies, uniforms including shoes, socks, underwear, transportation if necessary,tutoring, drop in centre, hygiene products, medical and dental support, potable water and when available food sacks.
I'm also trying to raise awareness of the great work the Starthrower Foundation is doing in Haiti. I was drawn to them because of the philosophy behind their actions - they seek SOCIAL JUSTICE, not just charity. They are a small foundation with no big money sponsors and they rely on donations from people like you and me to make a real difference in the lives of the people they serve. They provide financial support for more than a hundred Haitians who want an education. Due to limited funds however, they cannot provide sponsorship for education to all who come.
