Teachers2Teachers - International http://www.t2t-i.org

It is official and I am excited!!  I have decided to join a team of teachers to travel to Cap Haitien, Haiti this summer to teach.  I will be paired with two Haitian teachers to provide professional development. As I am learning, many teachers in Haiti only have a high school education and are hungry for resources to improve their teaching.  This will:
  • give me the opportunity to form close friendships with people of a different culture
  • offer the knowledge that my skills and talents will grow through exposure to new classroom settings
  • give me the chance to explore a diverse style of cuisine, music, art, and fashion that is French
  • offer a challenging experience to communicate with French speaking students



The trip is June 27-July 3rd and will work with Baudin Methodist Primary School.  We will be housed in an guarded guest house with all transportation included to and from the school.  To read more about the itinerary go to : http://www.t2t-i.org/projects/tripfocus.php?id=6.

In order to reserve a spot on this team I need to raise $1250 plus air fare.  I am accepting donations (of course) and will also be hosting some fund raising events in the near future which I will advertising on Facebook and Twitter (selling pre-made, ready to cook entrees, and Saturday morning Cardio Blast classes with and entrance fee).  Any donation by check needs to be addressed to Teachers2Teachers-International with Bree Stillings - Haiti in the "memo" line.  Or you can visit their website and make an online donation with Bree Stillings - Haiti in the bottom "notes" box so that the funds are applied directly to my registration and not to the general fund. 
The website to donate:   http://www.t2t-i.org/donate/





Please consider helping me.  I know that this is the perfect combination of taking my talents and using the gifts that God gave me and using them to serve his Kingdom.  I can't even imagine how it will change me professionally, personally, and spiritually....but I want to begin the journey.  Who knows, this might be the true calling and an event that I devote my life to.  Thank you!!!
