Haitian Earthquake
HAITIAN KIDS NEED OF YOUR HELP!!UPDATED 2/2/10
For the last couple
of years we have been involved in providing aid in Haiti which, as you know, has
been devstated by the recent earthquake.
The WFC has a good working relationship with Pastor
Geordany Joseph, who heads an orphanage in La Juene-Pignon on the Central
Plateau in the mountains of Haiti.He
also oversees 12 churches, 72 preachers, 4,498 members with children,
plus
seven schools with 29 teachers with nearly 1,000 students.
So that we may help these kids, we are asking for donations for the purchase of medical supplies, food, and rebuilding
materials.We anticipate that nothing
can be purchased locally in Haiti.Donations may be made online or by mail to: World Foundation for
Children, 277 Crider Lane, Woodstock, VA 22664.
