Christ­mas Cel­e­bra­tion for the ESMI chil­dren in Haiti
A Great Miracle

ESMI, greets you this hol­i­day sea­son. Christ­mas is a time of great gifts and cel­e­bra­tions; every­where there is joy, hap­pi­ness, and peace. Christ­mas can also be a time to receive a small gift from some­one even though you may not deserve it.

This year, ESMI would like to appeal to your gen­eros­ity to help the chil­dren (in our churches and orphan vil­lages) with the oppor­tu­nity to expe­ri­ence the splen­dor of the Christ­mas sea­son. Over the past 16 years ESMI has had the oppor­tu­nity to have many chil­dren come under our care. Some are orphans, some have been left at our facil­i­ties because their fam­i­lies can­not take care of them, and some are stu­dents in our schools and mem­bers of our churches.

Many of these chil­dren were deprived and they did not have what was needed to become good cit­i­zens later in their lives. Some of them have been aban­doned, left alone and with­out any pro­tec­tion. To sur­vive, they begged in the streets and some­times like dogs, searched in the trash to sur­vive. These chil­dren had no child­hood, no dig­nity, no life and no future, fac­ing humil­i­a­tion, dis­crim­i­na­tion, hunger, naked­ness, depri­va­tion of affec­tion and love, and lack of health care.

This year, we would like to orga­nize a party for these chil­dren so that they may finally have a taste of the fla­vor of Christ­mas. Each child would be given a small gift and we will have a party with songs, a med­i­ta­tion, skits and a movie.

We know that it is late in the sea­son to be mak­ing these plans, but who says that Christ­mas can­not go past Decem­ber 25th. Would you be able, or will­ing, to give $25 gift toward a child for what might be their first Christ­mas cel­e­bra­tion? This is a big under­tak­ing because we have 750 chil­dren that we are hop­ing to bless.
