New SFH Web Site!

A new web site has been created for Servants for Haiti. Since it is flexible enough to do updates easily and quickly, this blog is no longer needed.

Thank you for following us. Please visit our new site at www.servantsforhaiti.org.

Not much being heard from Haiti lately. Things are stable for now. We have another small team heading down next week so we expect to have more updates and photos soon.

Keep watching this space.

(We also expect to have a new web site soon, so we won't need this auxiliary site any more.)

Sorry there's been no update for a while. The three team members have all returned to the US.

Things are going as well as can be expected down at the school and orphanage. Thank God, we still have not heard of any serious casualties among the people we work with or serve there. With the exodus of people to the countryside, it may be a long time before we know the fate of all our friends. Some we may never know about.

Pastor Rigaud is still doing what he can to expedite adoptions. Food, water, and medical care are still in short supply. People are still living in tents, uncertain about their future.

Of one thing they can be sure. Servants for Haiti will always care and will be there for them if at all possible. We plan to send another small team as soon as commercial flights to Haiti resume.

Your help will go a long way to ensuring that we are doing as much as we can. In return for your generosity, we pledge our greatest efforts to help the children and all people of Haiti.

Thank you for your interest. This blog probably won't be updated again, but we hope to have a completely upgraded web site soon. That will allow us to be more efficient in our communications and allow you to join the conversation.

God bless you all...

We have been able to buy food to supply "Grandma's Tent City" (see previous post). People in the neighborhood of KKO have also been fed with food purchased by SFH.

World Vision arrived today and distributed food boxes to 1700 people in Village Solidarite, using the school as a base. They will give out the same amount each of the next two days.

One of the two people from SFH that are in Haiti is planning to return today.

Grandma's Tent City

Behind every great man is... his mother. In this case we're talking about Pastor Rigaud Antoine's mother. For those of you who are unaware, Pastor Rigaud is the driving force behind the CJRA school and Kingdom Kids orphanage. His mother is an amazing presence at any time, but she has truly stepped up in this disaster.

She and Pastor Rigaud's sister live next to the church and school. Following the earthquake, they created a tent city in front of their homes to accommodate about 1,000 homeless neighbors. People with nowhere else to go are sleeping there and holding on to what little they have left.

Meanwhile, our team is searching for additional sources of food for the people living there.

New Photos from Haiti

We've just received some photos from the team's trip to Haiti.

The CJRA school shows minimal damage but is essentially sound.
