• Haiti Project: LIV POU YO OFELEN (Books for Orphans) - One of our short term Haiti teams spent several days at the orphanage in Saline Maillete turning a storage room into a library for the orphans. That means we need lots and lots of books! The smaller children are just learning to read and the older ones are now beginning to study English. We are purchasing Creole and bilingual (Creole/English) books, dictionaries, Bibles and Bible curriculum. You can help by either ordering books online (look at websites below or just Google “Haitian Creole Books”) or through donations and we will purchase them. Books average $10-$15 each. Monetary donations may be made online, placed in the offering plate, or turned in at the Information Booth. Help Haiti's Children to Read!
• If you would like to do something special for the Haitian children, we are accepting donations of marbles, dominoes, dark-skinned baby dolls, and hair holders for the girls.  Haitian girls are not permitted to attend school if their hair is not “done”!  These items can be dropped off at the same place all other donations are being collected.  Thanks so much for your support.
• Thank You Seamstresses!!! Thank you to everyone who has been sewing clothing for the orphans in Haiti. Including what the current team has taken down, we will have clothed 78 girls.
