Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
OUR FIRST EXEMPT ACCOMPLISHMENT IS CALLED "YOUNG ATHLETES WITH HOPE". IT'S A MINISTRY COMMITTED TO TEACHING CHILDREN ESSENTIAL SKILLS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THEIR POTENTIAL SUCH AS TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE, OVERCOMING DEFEAT, AND WINNING WITH GRACE. THESE CHILDREN WILL HEAR ABOUT GODS GIFTS AND HIS DESIRE TO SEE THEM GROW THROUGH HIM. CREATING AND FACILITATING SOCCER CLINICS FOR YOUTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 3RD GRADE AND 6TH GRADE. CREATING AND FACILITATING SOCCER CAMPS WITH TWELVE AREA SCHOOLS TO OPERATE THE FIRST INTERMURAL SOCCER LEAGUE IN RURAL HAITI.
OUR SECOND EXEMPT ACCOMPLISHMENT IS CALLED HOPE UNDER OUR WING. THIS IS WHERE WE DONATE FUNDS TO LOCALS IN THE AREA OF THE CENTRAL PLATEAU. AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE MAY PROVIDE SEED MONEY TO A LOCAL BUSINESS,HELP A FAMILY MAKE ENDS MEET, OR SPONSOR A CHILD IN EDUCATION. WE WANT TO BE THAT HELPING HAND. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT WE ASK IN RETURN FOR THESE INVESTMENTS IS TO CREATE A PAY IT FORWARD SYSTEM. LOCAL BUSINESSES MUST DONATE A GOOD OR SERVICE TO THEIR COMMUNITY, THE FAMILIES MUST BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER IN THEIR COMMUNITY, AND THE CHILDREN WHO ARE BEING SPONSORED MUST HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND DEDICATION TO THEIR STUDIES IN SCHOOL.
OUR THIRD EXEMPT ACCOMPLISHMENT IS CALLED "BUSINESS WITH HOPE". WHEN AID GROUPS TRAVEL TO HAITI THEY NEED A PLACE TO STAY. THE TOWN OF HINCHE IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL PLATEAU OF HAITI AND ITS AN IMPORTANT HUB FOR ALL OF RURAL HAITI. GROUPS FROM AROUND THE WORLD UTILIZE HINCHE AS A BASE FOR THEIR WORK IN OUTLYING AREAS. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE ONLY 2 GUEST HOUSES LOCATED IN THE AREA, LEAVING MANY GROUPS UNABLE TO HAVE A PLACE TO STAY. OUR GUEST HOME PROVIDES A SAFE AND RELAXING ENVIRONMENT FOR OTHER NGO'S TO STAY AND JOIN WITH US TO PROVIDE AID TO THE RURAL PLATEAU OF HAITI.
