Letters and Photos of Hope from Miss Leisa

We recently received a letter and photographs from Leisa Faulkner, Executive Director of Children’s Hope, a local Sacramento agency assisting the people in Haiti.  Leisa has communicated with us on a regular basis after the devasting earthquake, as she continues her important work in Haiti.  Here is a copy of her letter to Jacqueline, a student in our class, who wrote on behalf of the entire class:

  1. Dear Ms. Cheung and Class,

    Thank you for sharing the work you have been doing to help the people of Haiti. Reading Miss Leisa’s letter makes me realize just how difficult the living conditions in Haiti are right now – and that one person really can make a difference.

    I hope you will invite me to your classroom when Miss Leisa returns to California.

  2. Dear Miss Gail,

    I think what you said is so true, on person can make a difference. In my opinion what we are doing in class is important, and I hope that the movie we are making will make a difference. I can’t wait for you to come back.

        Thank you for coming to our clasroom and showing Rosemary and I how to use Movie Maker. I had alot of fun working on the Haiti project and hope we can enter the movie in the video contest next year. I can’t wait for you to come back. I am so excited to see the finishing results of the movie. Thank you again.

  3. Dear Ms. Leisa,

    When are you going back to Haiti? I hope people in Haiti have clean water and food to eat. Are Haitian kids still hopeful and healthy? I wish could go to Haiti myself and help with food, clothes, medicine, water, toys, and other things they need. When I grow up someday I would like to visit Haiti.
    Sincerely,
    Jacqueline

    Thank you for coming to our classroom and answering our questions. I feel very sad when you told about how the Haitian people had lost their children when there was the earthquake. I feel very sad for them. I hope one day I can grow up and be like you. I would also like to thank you for giving us a gourde from Haiti. I hope you can come again to our classroom and tell us more about Haiti.
    Sincerely,
    Rosemary
