How You Can Help Haiti

What you can do right now:
1) Decide to be a sponsor. You can sponsor a child in the St. Antione School for 25/month to provide 5 meals a week, daily vitamins, regular anti-parasite medication and yearly nutritional assessments. More than 300 students are unsponsored at this time. You can sponsor a teacher's salary/training for $85/month. For more information, go to www.familyhm.org or call/email Kathryn.
2) Make a donation to Family Health Ministries: on-line or by mail to: PO Box 16725, Chapel Hill, NC, 27516-6725.
3) Consider what specialized skills, natural abilities/gifts, personal interests you have that may be helpful. Pray about what you can do to support the people of Haiti.

Other opportunities available in the future:
1) Travel to Haiti with a mission team. There will be many future opportunities to travel to Haiti for relief work. There will be a need for both skilled and unskilled labor. If you are interested in being a part of a future mission team, please email or call Kathryn or Rimes McElveen.
2) Opportunities to financially support larger projects (school, guesthouse, medical clinic, or orphanage reconstruction; digging wells/cistern systems; building homes, etc.) As specific strategies are developed by the APF and partner organizations, there will be opportunities to support their efforts.

Kathryn McElveen will lead a mission trip to Haiti tentatively planned for February 5-12, 2011. If you missed the meeting last week but think you might be interested in going to Fondwa, Haiti, to help with work we have already been actively supporting, please check out the Mission Guidebook at www.familyhm.org under "Mission Travel" and/or contact Kathryn at kathrynmcelveen@gmail.com, 864-991-7055 (m), 864-834-7144 (h).
