Great Idea from a Group Member

Hey everyone!
It has been sometime since I last contributed on this blog or on my own. The Foundation for Peace staff and group members have been hard at work building a school, attending to medical needs, spreading gravel, building soccer goals and volleyball courts in Camp Hope (ARC) in Fond Parisien, Haiti. I have been enjoying every second of my time in Haiti and every time I go to work it becomes more difficult for me to leave. Over these past few months I have had the blessing to meet and work with so many wonderful people who have signed up for some hard work in the sun. With each new group a new wave of fresh and enthusiastic energy is spread throughout the entire FFP staff. It is such an awesome experience! I saw that one of our group members, Jean Lee has come up with a great idea to raise money for even more Haitian relief! Jean is selling these shirts online for only $20 and all the proceeds go to Foundation for Peace's earthquake relief effort. I just ordered one and I know that Wendy did as well! I look forward to receiving mine in the mail when I go home for my visit! I encourage you to check out the shirt. It is for a great cause and it is quite the fashion statement! Take care and God bless!

Amazing Video from Good Samaritan Hospital and Haiti

This video, found on You Tube, was shot by a volunteer who spent two weeks at Good Samaritan Hospital in Jimani. It captures the great need of the Haitian people but also their overwhelming Spirit. We pray you're blessed viewing it. Remember, the Haitians continue to need our help and will for years to come.
