Update: Child Sponsorship Program


More than any other project, I am excited to see the long-term impact the child sponsorship program will have in the Abengourou community and impoverished families.  Pasquier and Emmanuel have such a great vision and passion that is infectious.  Please pray for the program and consider how you might take part in the future.  We hope to start  finding sponsors for 100 children in February 2013.



Pasquier & Emmanuel - the co-founders of Coeur Ouvert (Open Heart)

Each student registered in the program received a backpack with school supplies and was measured for their uniform.

Everyone waiting patiently on the porch of the mission's training center.

François and Maturin (our social workers) verify the registration and contact information of all the families.

Pasquier making sure all goes well.

Lilian Tro hands out their backpacks.

Each student gets measured for their school uniform.  Our tailor was a beneficiary of our CHE's micro finance program .

Our seamstress also works with the micro finance program, measuring the girls.

Our initial group completed the process.  These children are all in 1st grade.
