Brother Alphonse

 

One of the very first residents at Auberge des Vieillards was Brother Alphonse.  In fact, he was sheltered and cared for by the Church in Pignon for some time while the facility itself was still being built.  How great it is for him now, to enjoy his room, and the grounds including the covered porch outside.  

Alphonse is a widower whose family members do not have the resources to care for him.  He is mobile and in stable health, although he does need some help in the tasks of daily living.  We are delighted that he has the care and family of A des V to provide for his needs!

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for, support and contribute to the needs at A des V.  These are real people, with real needs, in real time.  It is a privilege to come alongside them in hope and love.

Donations can be directed to this work at any time through World Partners EMCC Haiti.

Getting to Know Brother Marcellus

 

This is brother Dezarme Marcelus.  

He is from the community of Santiacre, not too far from Pignon.  At A des V, he shares a room with Brother Ones.

He is a widower.  

For years, he worked in the Dominican Republic, cutting cane in the sugar cane fields.  He is handicapped, after having lost a leg.  

He attends the AEM (Pignon) church and works as a chaplain.

Since 2008 Highview Community Church has been working alongside EMCC World Partners to bring encouragement and resources to vulnerable people in Haiti.  Then, beginning in 2014, our focus has been a facility in Pignon, built and dedicated to the care of vulnerable seniors, overseen by compassionate Haitian community leaders who have taken our latest construction project and established Auberge des Vieillards (Inn for the Elderly).

Thank you, everyone, who continues to support and pray for our Grammas and Grampas in Haiti.
