Vacation Bible School

FHM has sent annual VBS teams to Haiti since the summer of 2003. Team members spend 6 weeks before the trip preparing materials, Bible lessons, games and crafts, and learning Kreyol.  

While in the Blanchard community of Port-au-Prince, the team typically has about 150 students who are divided into 4 groups.  Each group visits a different theme area each day for 2½ hours.   The groups are led by two or three US VBS team members with two Haitian translators and four or more Haitian class assistants. 

In the mountain community of Fondwa, about three hours outside of Port-au-Prince, US team members conduct a three-hour session for 40 to 50 students, and then enjoy some rest and relaxation in the lovely setting. 

Vacation Bible school supplies cost about $3000 each year.
