Haiti

I heard this on our christian radio station and just thought I would pass it along- if you make a contribution to Haiti this year, you can write it off on last years tax statement! They recommended Samaritans Purse or Compassion International- these groups provide more than just aid they share Jesus' love in many ways. You can text Haiti to a number and donate also. I'll get that number and post it asap. Which is text "Haiti" to 90999 to support the Red Cross. Of course the normal text fee's still apply.

I hate to see the devastation. I see so many children who are skin and bones and I can't help but think about the children we saw in Ethiopia- how much they don't have and I can't imagine adding a earthquake to the picture. I have found a few blogs and one families is just waiting to have clearance to go get their kids. It took a while to find them but the kids are as good as they can be. I know Haiti is a long process. If memory serves right it can take 5 years or longer. Pray for these families also as you remember the people of Haiti. Sadly some of the children that lived in several United States ran orphanages have been reported dead. Word first came out that everyone was alive but as the days went by, sadly, the news changed.

This information is from Holt who is another group that has an orphanage in Haiti. You can find a link after this information to get more information or donate-
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti saw children and families, already starving and impoverished, left with nothing. Holt is in Haiti helping to assist the children and families who are struggling to survive in this broken country.

Although communication with our staff in Haiti continues to be difficult and there are still many unknowns, we have learned from Holt-Haiti Director, Mansour Masse that the children being cared for at Holt Fontana Village are "OK."

Holt has been in Haiti since 2004 and the Village, located about 40 miles North of Port-au-Prince, is home to children waiting to go home to their permanent families in the United States.

"We are profoundly grateful the children and staff in our center are safe," said Holt President and CEO, Kim Brown. "We still do not have an assessment of the 120 families in our Family Preservation program, and we are doing all we can to determine their safety."
