*Emergency Crisis Update*

As the days turns into weeks, relief efforts in Haiti are increasing but we have seen the beginning of some terrible trends.

In a rush to bring aid to those who suffer, the distribution of food and supplies has been somewhat chaotic. As a result, supplies are getting into the wrong hands and in some cases being sold. Some medical supplies are coming through, but unfortunately they are not always items that are needed. There is a limited supply of fuel available, if you can afford it at over $10 US per gallon.

We've heard stories of child traffickers driving trucks through refugee camps, luring hungry children with food, only to force these innocent victims into a life of indentured servitude or prostitution. Children are not safe and as a result, the government has abruptly halted all international adoptions.

The authorities have officially closed all schools until every school building in the country has been inspected and cleared for safe occupancy.

Each day brings more serious problems, compounding this terrible situation. It's a long road ahead but with your help, we will eventually recover from this tragedy.

Please keep us in your hearts and your prayers.

Give a Hungry Person a Fish, Or Teach Him to Fish?

At Hope Village hundreds of children are receiving the care and education they need to fight the viscous cycle of poverty.

In this village of hope:

• Over 600 children are receiving shelter and care.
• Over 1,700 children are provided with academic and vocational educations.
• 3,500 meals are prepared and served daily.

And these numbers continue to grow. But here's what makes this mission different from most others. The children are the solution. They are pitching in to help built their own dormitories and schools. They are learning trades such as masonry, carpentry, farming, and agriculture. They are becoming self-sufficient so that as adults, they will be able to care for themselves. And one day, they will be able to care for their own children. Something their own parents were unable to do for them.


We need your help to break the cycle of poverty. Please make a tax deductible donation today and help the Haitians help themselves.
