Generations Christian Homeschool in Florida recently kicked off a heartwarming initiative during their Missionary Month, a time when students and teachers come together to support global missions. Each class was tasked with selecting an organization to raise funds for, and one of the standout efforts came from Mrs. Debbie Weaver and her 8th-grade students.
The class chose to support Brite Initiative, a nonprofit that provides educational opportunities in Haiti. Mrs. Weaver, who has a personal connection with Brite through past sponsorships and visits to Rodaille, Haiti, felt strongly about introducing her students to the mission’s impactful work. The students sprang into action, first by learning about the Brite Initiative and the needs in Haiti. They quickly organized a car wash fundraiser, hoping to raise enough money to sponsor one student through Brite. Despite the challenges, the 8th graders worked diligently for three hours, washing car after car, and their efforts paid off. By the end of the event, they had raised enough funds to sponsor a student. Impressed by the students’ dedication and hard work, Paola Mendoza, the director of Generations Christian Homeschool, decided to contribute further. She announced that, in honor of the 8th grade’s success, the school would sponsor a second student through Brite Initiative. This heartwarming display of generosity and teamwork highlights the power of community involvement and the difference young hearts can make in the world. Generations Christian Homeschool’s Missionary Month not only raised funds for a worthy cause but also taught students valuable lessons about giving, global outreach, and the impact of education.
