Dear Friends,
The holidays are a time to reflect on what we are grateful for and to reach out to others with greetings and well wishes. Our Palmyra-Haiti Technology project members in the USA have done just that. They have reflected on their blessings of having a supportive relationship with our partner schools in St. Marc, Haiti and sent handmade holiday greeting cards to their Haitian peers. Our high school French club students helped our 4th through 8th-grade students translate the cards that were recently sent to St. Marc.
Being a 1:1 technology device school district, our Palmyra students understand the value of technology & connectedness as a means to prepare them for 21st-century workforce opportunities. Our students could not imagine education without the use of technology. Although our peers in St. Marc do not have 1:1 technology access, they do have consistent access to technology for their lessons thanks to your generous support and the awareness and fundraising efforts of our Palmyra students over the past several years.
During this season of giving, you can help our peers in Haiti sustain and build on the technology connectedness your past contributions have helped to provide. Please consider a gift of support on #GivingTuesday or as a year-end contribution. GlobalGiving is releasing $150,000 in matching funds and 30+ bonus prizes (ranging from $3,000 to $100) over a 24-hour period on #GivingTuesday (see the Terms + Conditions).
As always, thank you for your ongoing support and enjoy a warm and safe holiday season with family and friends.
