The March 18th to 23rd Assessment Team has arrived home safely after a very busy time of travelling and meeting with the various ministries of MTH Canada in Haiti. As a result of the assessment team’s work, the Board of MTH Canada will be moving forward with their short term and long term plans to continue nurturing and caring for the Haiti people.
We have a 29 person relief team headed to Haiti from April 10 to April 17 to undertake medical clinics, construction, child sponsorship and food distribution. Medical Clinics will happen at Cabaret, Christa College and Foveau with a group of 16 medical volunteers. Construction of a Haitian residence and footings for the new bridge will be completed by 7 construction volunteers that will be accompanying at least a dozen Haitians to work together during the short one week duration. The Child Sponsorship group of three volunteers will be meeting with each of the schools to sort out the child sponsorship programme and discuss the start of school for the four schools that are supported by MTH Canada. We will also have a reporter from the Daily Sentinel Review Newspaper in Woodstock who will accompany our team, to report back to Canadian about the efforts of our team. Two people will be travelling throughout Haiti visiting the Haitian to bring greetings and continue to look at needs for the Haitian people as well as supporting the mission team. Food Distribution will be undertaken during one afternoon, by our team at one of the school’s that we support.
We ask for continued prayer and support for our Mission Teams. Please look elsewhere on our website for future Mission Team dates that have just been opened up. Application forms and Orientation Handbooks are also available on-line.
We are continuing to collect tents large and smaller for the Haitians since the rainy season is starting. We are also focussed on obtaining larger tent structures (approx 32’ x 50’) to be used as temporary school facilities to get our schools operational for the kids. Any monetary donations can be sent through PayPal on our website or cheques / money orders to our mailing address Mission to Haiti Canada, P.O. Box 39, Norwich, ON. N0J 1P0
Feel free to drop us a note on our blog, so that we may receive your encouragement and share in the work of MTH Canada.
Blessings
The Board of MTH Canada
