Our 25th Anniversary!

The celebration was a great success with about 150 people in attendance.

Tuition paperwork has gone out, but there are a few sponsors left to reach, as many students did not attend school because of the violence. We apologize for the lateness. Due to the difficulties in Haiti, things are moving much slower than normal. We remain committed to our students, schools, and our sisters. Sr. Cadet helps us tremendously to know what is happening and who needs the most help.

Many sponsors have decided to take a new student, so we continue the wonderful work we do together to educate students in Haiti. This is our Mission!

Our clothing drive is thriving! We have 120 bags of clothing piled on the stage area in our church hall. Shhhhh. Don’t tell Fr. Dolan. LOL! We hope to get another 130 plus to donate to Epilepsy Foundation at the end of August. The more pounds of clothing the more money we receive for projects in Haiti.

Students are on summer vacation now in Haiti and we will be sending tuition in August to the sisters to distribute and then meet with parents before school starts.

We received 57 new students from our sisters who need help to stay in school. Many sponsors have accepted a new child in need. This is the focus of our work, and we appreciate their loyalty to Haitian Outreach.

Volunteers are flocking to help with the backpack work. The dedication of our volunteers, associates and parishioners is amazing!

Collection of cancelled stamps has proved to be highly successful! We have collected a LOT of stamps and in September they will be sent to Caritas Estre in Canada. They search for rare stamps and sell to dealers in Canada. Haitian Outreach will receive the benefits of their findings!

A group of teens and adults will visit us in August to help with the final backpacks and shipments we are preparing. We are looking forward to collaborating with them.

Haitian Outreach remains open at St. Bernard at St. Camillus church hall, Saturday afternoon from 1-3pm for drop offs or volunteers through August 30th. Thank you all. Many hands make light work! Continue to pray for peace in Haiti!
