January 12, 2010

You may have heard that a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti this afternoon. The quake was followed by more than a dozen aftershocks and, according to news reports, caused houses to collapse in Port-au-Prince. The extent of the damage is not yet known.

We have not heard from our Haiti Foundation of Hope partners working in country or any reports on the Clinic of Hope and school in Terre Blanche. We will let you know when we have news to share. Please continue to keep Haiti and its people in your thoughts and prayers.

On Easter Day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. This is the Hope of HFH – while it is impossible to save ourselves; God is miraculously doing the impossible and offering new life to the people of Terre Blanche and to each one of us. Happy Easter.

The students in the Women’s Trade School spent the summer making face masks. This was a great way for first-year students to learn basic sewing skills like cutting fabric, threading needles, and using a treadle sewing machine. These women are making a difference in their community. #haitifoundationofhope #tradeschool #treadlesewingmachine

Hunger and starvation are profound in Haiti right

Hunger and starvation are profound in Haiti right now. Malnourished children are everywhere, not just in the impoverished and rural communities that HFH serves. Recently, mothers came from all over to receive help from the Clinic of Hope for their malnourished children. They received Medika Mamba, a fortified peanut butter, for their sick children as well as a large bag of rice to take home and share with their families. Thank you for donating to life-saving causes such as these. #haitifoundationofhope #profoundhunger #meetingneeds

Before social distancing, a motorcycle for two was one of the creative ways that staff at the Clinic of Hope reached a sick patient who lived where there were no roads. With a clinic worker driving and a nurse on back, that’s what we call teamwork and sharing hope. #haitifoundationofhope #nursingskills #bringinghope
