The kids (at the orphanage) are unreal and it was amazing meeting them. They literally mauled me...they've never seen someone with "rouge" hair before and they noticed everything about me. Chris and Johanne (the missionary couple) are amazing but the condition of this country is horrible, beyond what I ever would of thought. Chris and Johanne are real tight for money and there's a lot of things they need that they cannot get. They live day to day and they need continuous money in order to keep these orphans alive.....
The orphanage is desperate for immediate financial assistance. Here are some of the top needs:
- A generator: This will provide water at the childrens' home as well as provide electricity at the church (one-time cost of $1000);
- 27 Direct-debit sponsors at $35 per month to feed and clothe the children. Download a sponsorship form here;
- An individual, business, or church comittment of $400 monthly to send all of the orphans to school;
- Support for the local missionaries in Haiti: There is currently a $500/month shortfall, and the funds are being taken from other programmes that are also in need.
Christine Eisses, President of EWF, says that "we have a lot of desperate life or death needs over there right now", and has asked for immediate assistance with the above list.
Religion that God our FAther accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27 NIV)
