If you're wondering who to give to this season let me make a few suggestions for the benefit of those in Haiti:
Pestel, Haiti (via Sisters of Saint Francis)
This is where we are working and putting the bulk of our efforts. Your funds will help to support Sister Fidelis' tireless work to bring joy and health to these very poor villages in the mountains of Pestel. As with all of these places, your donations will go a long way!
HIS Home for Children
Truly, a stellar example of a well-run and deeply loving orphanage in PAP. Chris and Hal, the directors, are wonderful people with big big hearts. Their newsletters (which I'd suggest you sign up for!) are filled with hope but also some very moving and difficult-to-read stories of abandoned infants and children. Despite hardships these folks know how to rejoice in God's provision, and they are filled with confidence/faith. You should meet them sometime!
Hearts with Haiti
Among my favorite places to visit in PAP are the two orphanages--St. Joseph's Home for Boys and Wings of Hope--part of Hearts with Haiti. There is another school/orphanage further south in Haiti (Trinity House) I have yet to visit. This group of orphanages is smartly run with the goal of redeeming and restoring these children and youth in God's love. The results to date have been phenomenal.
Angel Missions Haiti
Your gifts to Angel Missions Haiti help support Haitian kids who need life-saving surgeries. These kids need transportation paid for as well as the nitty-gritty paperwork required to obtain a medical visa from Haiti. It's a great way to make a difference in the life of a child while also showing support to the US medical centers that provide these surgeries at no cost!
For more information you can visit this site that I put together.
Merry Christmas!
