THE GRAMOTHE TILE CREW. WHO ARE THEY?...

There are always some students who are not able to go to school. Often, though they try, it is just a difficult task. MTM has done its best to help these students who are detirmined. One such student asked for help to become a 'tile boss' (one who is able to lay ceramic tile). We contacted his sponsor & after explaining the situation, they gladly donated a monotary gift for the student to recieve the needed tools to persue his chosen trade. Much to our great pleasure, when it came time to lay tile in the 2 new high school classrooms, our very own newly formed Gramothe Tile Crew was there to offer to do the job! Willem had to give them the job & was delighted to see the quality of work that they did, but also just who the crew was. The crew was made up of 4 former students who have left the school before graduating.
They are:


Eddy Augustine, tile boss



Wismane Faustin, crew hand


James Emile, crew hand

Bertrand Excellent, crew hand

The new school year in Haiti opens with the beginning of classes on Monday, September 7th. Enrollment is finished & MTM will be very close to 1,000 students this year in both the Gramothe (PreK1, 2 &3 through 11th grade) & Dumay (PreK 1, 2 & 3 through 6th grade) schools.
The staff at the schools, the lunch programs, medical care & tuition are paid by sponsors who committ to sponsoring a student for $25USD each month. Their faithfulness to this program detirmines the education of a generation in a country that often has no hope. At present, less than half of our students are sponsored & some of those sponsors are not able to be faithful in their giving.
We need your help.
Would you partner with MTM by sponsoring a student? If so, go to our website, www.MTMHaiti.com, click on "Sponsorship" & follow the prompts to register to sponsor a student today. An email will automatically be generated to our office & we will send you the profile of a student.
Are you already sponsoring a student? Encourage, or better yet, challenge a close friend or family member to sponsor a student. As always, if you need assistance with your sponsorship, please contact us.
Lastly, donations are also accepted either set up from our website with an automatic deduction from your account (follow "Sponsorship" prompts), or, as a one time donation (follow "Donate" prompts).
Either way, your giving is tax-deductible, but more than that, it's life changing!
Don't forget to accept our invitation to COME! MTM wants our sponsors & donors to come be a part of ministry taking place. We want you to come meet your student, see where they live, meet their family & know what you are investing in.
Thank you to all who are giving and coming to Mountain Top Ministries in Haiti.
