Right now larger government and non-government agencies are working on getting relief supplies to the island while, at the same time, working at finding survivors. Quite frankly, this is an endeavor best left to such agencies as state governments, international aid agencies and the like. These institutions are equipped to provide large scale operations calling for planes, security, airlifts, hospitals, ships and so much more. Schools Count Corp. is not able to accomplish such tasks.
When the time presents itself and we can get in the country Schools Count Corp. will build a ten-room school. At this time, 52.9% of the population is illiterate according to the World Fact Book. Some estimates place the current unemployment level at a disheartening 70%. Jobs and education have to be re-established to fight poverty and to provide the means for Haiti to get back on its feet. A ten-room school will cost in excess of $50,000. We'll not only build a school but Schools Count Corp. will provide the supplies and aid in the continued cost of operating the school in the years to come.
Your tax deductible donation will go a long way towards reaching our goal of building a school in Haiti. Too many orphans and far too many illiterate children need our help. We will build this school in order to enable the youngster in the photo, and others like him, to see a brighter day and more hopeful future.
You can make your contribution payable to "Schools Count Corp" and write "Haiti School" in the memo section of your check. Be sure to mail your contribution to Richard Flesher, 20048 S. Kohlwood, Mokena, IL. 60448. Also, in a couple of days, should you so desire to donate by credit card, you can go to our website and make your contribution in that manner.
We WILL build this school together!!
Many thanks,
Dick Flesher
