We are currently focused on building a primary school (K-4th grades) for approximately 200 children in the village of Ti Peligre. Please watch the VIDEO for more information. So far over $28,000 has been contributed to this project. Substantial work has been completed on the foundation for the school/church building and classes have begun in temporary shelters. The school has a operating staff of 16 people, including teachers, principals, helpers, and a cook. But we’ve still got a long way to go. A permanent school/church building is estimated to cost US $75,000. Annual operating costs (e.g. salaries, books, school uniforms, etc.) are expected to be US $36,000. Based on projected enrollment of 200 children, operating costs are only $180 per child per year! What a great opportunity to make a meaningful difference for so many families! Please ask God what you can do for the children of Ti Peligre.

Great news! Blacksburg Baptist Church has received a $30,000 "challenge gift" to MATCH contributions made by 12/31/2009 for the school in Ti Peligre! The revised brochure describes two fundraising efforts by BBC mission groups to meet this challenge.

Please print this brochure and share copies with your friends, family and fellow church members. As we approach the Christmas season, please consider supporting a child in Haiti as an "alternative Christmas gift" to someone you love.

God has really worked a miracle in Ti Peligre! Just 3 months from beginning this adventure in love and faith, the village has made substantial progress on the construction project and classes are being held with 178 students and 16 teachers/staff. Without a doubt, God has answered many prayers for the people of Ti Peligre!

With busy school staff and construction workers, we really need to get serious about fundraising. Please print the attached brochure and distribute copies to your friends, family and fellow church members. The brochure includes some absolutely incredible photos of the children carrying rocks to the construction site...on the heads!

Above are some photos of students attending the first week of classes at the new Gospel School GARDEN OF LEARNING of Ti Peligre. Classes began on October 12, 2009!

Here are four recent photos, all taken on Sunday, October 4, 2009, of the school/church construction site in Ti Peligre. The progress is amazing, especially considering that all the work was done without heavy equipment. Every single rock was carried from the river by the people, including the children, of Ti Peligre. The first picture shows the overall site. Classes are being held under the palm leaf "tunnels" until the building is completed.
The last of picture shows a pile of rocks with a cross drawn on each rock. I imagine the people at Ti Peligre drew these crosses to remind themselves that their labor of love in building this school is motivated by the love Christ has for all of us.

Comment by Bryan Cloyd on September 29, 2009 at 12:23pm: Excellent question! In fact, that was the first question I asked of the church leaders in Ti Peligre. Even with a bridge, the closest school is approximately 4 miles away, which would be a long and dangerous journey for small children. Moreover, even if the 200 children from Ti Peligre could make the journey, it is very unlikely that existing schools on the other side of the river have the capacity to accept so many additional students. The current plan is to rely on these schools for 5th and 6th graders, but not for the younger children.

Comment by J.A.N. Lee on September 29, 2009 at 12:11pm: I am sure this question has been asked before -- when I made my presentation to our missions committee, I got asked "wouldn't it be cheaper, and more useful in many ways, to build a bridge?" I suggested that from the presentation I heard at BBC that the river is subject to flooding and thus anything but a substantial bridge might be swept away regularly. Can you comment please?
