Haiti

 

Following December's

$1,000,000 disaster relief

aid delivery, Reverend Dr.

Luc Pierre reports about

the aid distribution and

provides an update

following his January

assessment trip to

Gonaives.

 

Reverend Dr. Pierre

found the destruction in

Haiti, and particularly in

Gonaives, astounding. 

"It is inconceivable that

after so much work has

been put into cleaning

the place, so much more

needs to be done.

The Government has just given up. 

 

The only thing we have is

the natural beauty of the

land, as some of these

pictures will show.  God

has not taken that away

from us.  The hospital is a

total disaster. The new

one is a shame."

 

 

Airline Ambassadors

continues to collect

donations for Haiti relief

and we ask for your help

in building a new hospital

in the high lands of

Gonaives. 

 

 

Coming soon to the Airline Ambassadors' site, Reverend Dr. Luc Pierre's

slide shows depicting the work to be done in Gonaives.  Thank you, Rev. Dr. Luc Pierre!

You can help our efforts by visiting our Donate to a Project page and

indicating Haiti Disaster Relief in your PayPal descrition or check memo

donation.

Thank you for helping us continue support for our friends suffering in Haiti!
