Quisqueya News: Friday, May 21
Quisqueya students have been working to raise money in order to buy paint for a set of 3 new homes built for families that were left homeless by the earthquake. The pre-fab homes, a product of Haiti’s Fondation Maxima, were built to house employees of Christian Service International in the Croix-de-Bouquets area. The paint will not only make the houses more beautiful, but will also make the homes last longer by making them more resistant to bugs and weather.
The high school students organized and executed a bake sale to raise funds for the purchase of paint.

At the end of the sale, the high school students had raised enough money to pass the fundraising goal. We were able to buy enough paint to cover all three houses. Stay tuned in the next few days for photos and stories from the Paint Party!
