Dear Friends,
Meet Megina. She’s 5, feisty, and lives in Côtes-de-Fer, Haiti. Born
without fully formed arms, she doesn’t seem to notice her disability at
all. When we met her earlier this year, she was busy pulling a friend
around on a makeshift sled. Her mom said, “Nothing can stop her.”
Well, almost nothing...

You see, Megina is desperate to go to school
with her friends, but because of her disability the local school will
not admit her – they don’t have the resources or training to meet her
needs.
“It’s so hard for me to see her so sad when she watches her friends
go to school and she cannot go. She becomes a different girl.” -
Megina’s mother
When children like Megina are denied the opportunity to go to school, it
increases their chances of continuing to live in poverty and dying
younger. Girls are often the first to be excluded.
Today, I wanted to let you know that a generous friend to the poor has offered to match your gift to children in need. That means that your love and devotion for children like Megina goes even further.
Thank you for all that you do to help alleviate the suffering of those
less fortunate. It is in these actions, motivated by love, that we see
God's grace here on earth. Today, more children can be given the chance
to learn and experience the life-changing impact of education because of
you.
On behalf of Megina, and the 91,013 children we served last year, thank you, and God bless you.
