Information about the Orphanage Construction Project in Terrier Rouge, Haiti Just after the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12th of this year, Pastor Noel contacted us and asked us to help him realize a dream he has had for many years. He wanted help to begin building an orphanage for children who have no place to live. During our visit to Haiti in March of this year, we were blessed to be able to witness the start of this home for orphaned and abandoned children in Terrier Rouge. Pastor Noel's vision for this home, which will be an on-going work of L'eglise Baptiste de Terrier Rouge, is to build several small homes on the property with one housemother and 10 children in each home. The first house has already been started and as funds become available, other small homes will be constructed. A housemother will be selected for each one and children will be placed in the homes according to their need. If you would like to make a secure online donation towards the cost of this project, please click here! Please include a note in the Comments box telling us your donation is for the Orphanage Construction in Terrier Rouge.

Also, many of you have already sent us financial donations towards the added cost of purchasing food and other necessities for the displaced people who have come from Port-Au-Prince and are now looking for help in Terrier Rouge. And while we are extremely grateful for what's been given, we know that this need will be on-going so we're asking for continued support to meet this need in the long term. As we have been saying since the beginning of this crisis, the crisis in Northeast Haiti is still growing, and will continue to grow, so our friends continue to need our help. As you are aware, we are a registered 501c3, tax-exempt, non-profit organization so donations made through His Hands are considered tax-exempt and we do issue receipts to all donors. Media attention has waned as time has passed, but we will continue to serve the pastors we have partnered with in Northeast Haiti long after Haiti has left the news and the last reporters have gone home. We have been working with our partners in Haiti since 2002 and we are in this for the long haul so we would appreciate your participation with us to help the pastors to help the people in their communities and, of course, to help the children in the schools. If you would like to make a secure online donation to help with the ongoing cost of earthquake relief, please click here! Please include a note in the Comments box telling us your donation is for Earthquake Relief. Please join us as we pray for the people of Haiti in this time of disaster. As we have more specific information about the children in our program, we will post it here. Thank you for your concern - His Hands Support Ministries |
