HAITI MISSION RESPONSE
FROM THE PRESBYTERY OF CARLISLE
Dear Friends,
Fulller Housing has obtained land in Haiti on which to build modest houses for the 3 million Haitians, who are now homeless following the January earthquake. Houses to accommodate 15,000 will be constructed in Laogane (90% destroyed) and St. Phard (an alternate site north of Port-au-Prince, which was 60% destroyed). We have a team of volunteers going there in late Sept. to assist with the building.
Click below for a listing of tools and materials that are being collected at Mission Central, 5 Pleasant View Drive, Mechanicsburg, Pa. 17055. All tools must be at Mission Central by July 31 in order to be packed into a shipping crate and sent to Haiti.
Also, cash donations may be made. Make checks payable to "The Presbytery of Carlisle", with the notation, "Haiti tool program." Send them to Presbytery of Carlisle, 3040 Market Street, Suite 1, Camp Hill, Pa. 17011. Thank you for your continued support of these relief efforts.
Bill Bauer, Coordinator
Volunteers Still Needed!
The Ecumenical Haiti Relief Alliance continues to recruit for the next two trips to Haiti.
Sept. 18-25. We will travel to Leogane to construct concrete block houses. Over one million Haitians are now homeless, because of the earthquake. We will join with Fuller Housing to make concrete blocks and to construct the houses. There is still space for 12 more volunteers. Cost is $1,000 per peson.
Oct. 23-30. We will travel to the Pierre Payen Hospital, north of the capital. This is a medical team. We still need an Anesthesiologist and two OR nurses to accompany the five physicians and two nurses already on the team. Cost is $1,000 per volunteer.
Checks should be made out to the "Presbytery of Carlisle," and mailed along with the application to The Presbytery of Carlisle, 3040 Market St., Ste. 1, Camp Hill, PA 17011.
PLEASE RECRUIT FRIENDS, CHURCH MEMBERS, RELATIVES AND OTHER ACQUAINTANCES, if you personally cannot go. The need is great and the volunteers are few!
