As the Haiti team begins to make final preparations for the October trip, we want to thank the congregation for the outpouring of gifts that have supplied all of the buckets and filters for our Clean Water Project! Because of you, 100 families in the community of Mizak, Haiti will now have access to clean water. Your gift will literally change their lives.
Because of your generosity, we have received plenty of school supplies for our VBS experience with the children of Mizak.
The remaining donations needed for the trip are brightly colored 100 percent cotton fabrics with designs in one-yard increments as well as used or new 34 waist or larger jeans to make aprons. (See apron example in the above photo.) The team will be in partnership with the HAPI Project, which is multifaceted and provides health clinic services for the community as well as economic development and job training for artists.
All of these items will bless, educate, and help to empower the people of Haiti.
Finally, your prayers are vitally important - for the team members and for the partnership that they build with the community of Mizak.
Please have your donations dropped off at the church office no later than Sunday, October 12. If you have questions, please contact DeAndrea Dare.
