Relief Effort -- Great News Out of Haiti this Morning!

The supplies just reached the creche and are already unloaded and being put to use. Thank you to all who donated, everyone who helped load the plane and to Alecia for making the trip to Haiti with the supplies. Pictures will be coming! The children in the village and the orphanage are grateful for your generosity.

Relief Trip Update

Plane landed, trucks loaded and inspected and they are now en route (as of 8:00pm EST) to the border town of Jimani. Alecia Settle is with the trucks. The trucks will be driving all night to reach the border crossing when it opens at 5 a.m. and then onto the creche! Alecia will then travel back to the Dominican and home. This was an incredible effort, please keep the Alecia and the donations in your prayers as they make this last leg of their journey.

Packing!!

An entire day of packing and 7200 pounds later the cargo is scheduled to go on the plane tomorrow headed for the Dominican and on to Haiti. Alecia is hoping to travel on take photos all the way to the creche for delivery.

A big shout out to Ann McGregor, her sister Kim, and her Sage Room Middle School Students for all fo their hard work and help today, we couldn't have finished without them tonight.

Thanks to Beth, Jim, Alecia, Marvin and Kathi for all of your hard work!!
