25th ANNIVERSARY OF SERVICE TO CHILDREN IN HAITI!
Our celebration was AMAZING! Approx. 150 people came from far and wide to celebrate the work we all do for Haiti! Thanks to Paula for all her hard work putting the event together! We were fortunate to have Sr. Cadet and Sr. Marlene be with us.
HAITI UPDATE!
Haiti is still an extremely dangerous country. People are afraid and unable to get necessities for everyday life. You are helping them. Please PRAY!
Our sisters continue to open schools and students come when it is safe. Sponsorship & Donations from you give them hope for their future!
2021 BACKPACKS
Recently Magdala along with a new driver (who works for the sisters), and our staff went out to the schools to deliver backpacks. Thank You God!
DEAR SPONSORS
We hope you will understand the situation in Haiti is very bad. We just received the paperwork on the children when the sisters visited. We are working diligently to get this in the mail to you. Many students did not return to school, and the sisters replaced them. We have a lot of new students who the sisters feel are in great need. Without your help to keep children in school, the country will take a step back. The most important thing is to educate the children God gives us each year. Many families have moved away from Port au Prince because of the danger. If your child is no longer part of our program, the backpack was given to a new student. Pray for them!
SAUT D’EAU
This school received a grant for meals. Sadly, this has come to an end, and these children will no longer receive a meal each day. We are told by Magdala that some students in this school do not have shoes and walk barefoot to school. We must continue to support these children as much as possible. Thank You.
LYNCH FOUNDATION
This solar project will begin as long as it is safe, when the sisters return to Haiti. We’ll keep you updated.
REQUEST FROM SISTERS
Sisters are asking for linens, i.e., towels, face cloths and bed linens to be sent to St. Marie convent.
CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!
Haitian Outreach will be open to accept volunteers beginning Sat. June 3rd at St. Bernard Parish Hall, @ St. Camillus Church, Fitchburg. Volunteers are asked to come between 1-3pm to assist with preparations for the filling of a backpack for each sponsor child. We look forward to seeing you!
