The catastrophe in
Haiti caused us to reach out and save the lives of those who are
homeless and who have children and relatives who are without
anything. Many people have lost hope in Haiti and are turning to the
second big capital city Cap-Haitien where our brothers offer refuge.
Our Community Chapel
is now a refugee center and the Asile Communal Center for homeless
and destitute adults as well as our Bethlehem Center for disabled
children have been expanded to take in temporary refugees. Brother
Henry is receiving people from the hospitals, and from trucks and
buses coming from Port-au-Prince to the Missionaries of the Poor for
shelter.
We need all the
support you can offer--especially basic food items like rice, corn
meal, flour, sugar beans and clean water. Home supplies like
beds, bed linens, clothes, towels, etc. are also much needed.
In His service,
Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung, MOP
Superior General |
