Indian Grove Public School (IGPS) held many events during 2019 to support HHH and our Student Sponsorship Program in Haiti. The Me-to-We Club turned HHH into a fundraising frenzy to help support the children of Haiti. Serena Bufalino attended the school on three occasions during the year to run student empowerment programs. In this capacity, they also help transform the world and the lives of students who really need their assistance. HHH is amazed at how much heart, spirit, and passion our Canadian students have when they hear about the daily conditions of the students in Haiti.

In collaboration with the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance, Help Heal Humanity's Serena Bufalino and Evelisa Genova hosted and facilitated a full day youth summit for the students, at the Martin Luther King Jr Elementary School. The summit explored the concept of Creative Activism, and how creativity can bring goodness and positive messages into the world. Serena Bufalino shared her own journey of creating Help Heal Humanity and how the power of children and students can make a difference. The group participated in a self- portraiture workshop facilitated by Evelisa. Students walked through a portraiture tutorial and used the tools to illustrate how they see themselves making a positive difference in the world around them. Our workshop ended with the statement: “We are all connected; we are all affected”, which emphasized how we are all interconnected, and the well-being of people around us matters. To make the concept more realistic, we shared the story of how students in Toronto created global impact by helping fellow students in Haiti.

The Toronto District Secondary School (TDSS) has many specialized education classrooms scattered throughout the city. Each classroom is unique but all focus on helping students through difficult and challenging times. The TDSS has been an important supporter of the Haiti School Building Project since its creation in 2011. The TDSS students raised funds by hosting bake, pizza, and garage sales. This was a win-win situation for participating students and teachers as everyone learned real lessons in empathy, compassion and basic human values.

Across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), classrooms participated in a variety of fundraising efforts. From vows of silence, to planting trees and selling plants, these elementary school students stepped up to help the children of Haiti. Through in-class programming and the teaching of leadership skills, HHH provided the knowledge and resources which enabled youth to make a difference in the lives of others.
