Many of our friends and supporters are asking about our plans to help in the latest disaster in Haiti. We believe that the first line of action is not the best use of our resources. After prayerful consideration with Father Jim and others we believe that our support will be needed in the immediate future in the surrounding areas of the damaged areas as people move to find shelter, water, food etc. We know from personal experience that the outlying areas have little if anything to offer. In fact they are barley able to feed and take care of themselves. Most of the food that we help to bring into our areas comes from Port Au Prince.
Our direction of service is going to be to help support the influx of refugees coming into the areas we serve.
We do not have all of the mechanisms in place, but we will be working with the Sisters of Mary and Joesph in Gros Morne. We have worked with them for 10 years and know that they are faithful stewards of all that is in trusted to them. If feel called to help with this endeavor, please send your donation to |
