Temporary Shelters Becoming a Reality

Great opportunities are on the horizon for our youth and the Leogane community as a whole via our new partnership with Samaritan's Purse!

Several months ago we teamed up to provide transitional shelters in and around Leogane. All of our planning, searching for acceptable properties, and negotiations to secure the use of suitable properties is now bearing fruit. The stage is finally set with a state-of-the-art facility now ready to serve as a hub to store and distribute supplies to build the transitional homes (photo of a sample shelter at left).

The pay for work program is now set to provide paid employment opportunities to approximately 100 people chosen to participate based on their willingness to invest themselves in rebuilding their own communities.

I am truly excited about our joint commitment to erecting sturdy, waterproof shelters in Leogane and other affected communities around Haiti. Everyone deserves the dignity of food and shelter and I am also honored to be intimately involved in this worthy endeavor.

Building His Kingdom Through Service,
