The Update:

The Reason:
Money raised this year will go towards the digging of a well to provide all water needs, the finishing touches on the buildings, and the purchase of furniture and other items needed for the rooms.
Housing for Seniors who are alone and poor, is a priority of the city of Pignon. There is little offered for the elderly who have no children (to act as their Senior's security) or whose children are unable or unwilling to provide for poor parents. The need is great in a country ravaged by disaster.
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. By investing in the community of Pignon, we have an 'on the ground' impact, investing together in the future of some of the country's most vulnerable.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!
