Stanley was able to start school last Monday. It was so important that he didn't miss too many classes since he is starting Secondary School. Although he doesn't have any books yet, we were able to buy the material for his uniforms - two shirts and two pants - and pay to make them. We also receive a donation for his bike! The money will be sent for the bike as soon as PayPal makes it available for withdrawal. This would not be possible without the donations we received online. Special thanks goes out to our twitter friend @Smithalso and one other anonymous donor who gave us a total of $130 for Stanley's uniforms and bike! The first $50 which we spent on the uniforms and the rest will be sent this week for the bike. Although Paypal charge a fee on ALL donations, and the fee to send via Western Union, Charnie has assumed those fees so we can stretch every dollar that we received. The material is measured and sold per inch and is very expensive now, plus the maker's fee. So, we were not able to buy new shoes for Stanley. But he is using his old pair of shoes from last year until he needs a new one or until we can afford new ones.
Right now his most important needs are his books. No student can succeed in Haiti without books. We will be posting pictures of Stanley soon.
Thank you for reading and may God Bless you!

About Me
- Fondation Rehoboth
- My name is Lucner Monexe. I am the Pastor and founder of Fondation Rehoboth, which is a Church/Orphanage but more like a big family. It all started in July 2004 after I left a mission/orphanage for which I worked my entire adult life, with no intentions to start an orphanage or a church. But God had another plan. After leaving, many of the children followed me home and that's how it all started. My family and I moved out of the house to a much unfinished and smaller one, which helped us house the children...
