The benefits are mutual. For the children in the Fontamara school, this partnership not only supports their education and medical care, it also allows them to create friendships and to see the world more globally. Our mission is two-fold:

- A customizable letter to staff and parents explaining the project
- Free, interactive lesson plans, digital story books and other resources which will tie together US curriculum requirements and the messages of Haiti: For example: K-3 Digital Story Book on Haiti, Quarters for Haiti: Elementary Math Lesson that supports a Quarter Drive at your school, Debate on Poverty in Haiti: Secondary ( 6 – 12) lesson
- Quarterly updates on the academic outcomes and news from the school in Fontamara, Haiti
- Recognition of your school on our website
- Speakers Bureau - to talk to your school, class or PTA/PTO
