                                                                    We are all well aware of the devastating earthquake that has crumbled much of Port-au-Prince and surrounding area in Haiti. Our hearts are grieved by this catastrophe and our prayers go out to the people of Haiti in the midst of their pain and loss.

                                                                    While the realistic plans of this year’s “Highview To Haiti” team (see previous blog entry) are now unknown we still want to respond and help where we can. To this end we are planning to continue with the Haiti Fundraiser Dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday February 6th. However, rather than raising funds for the school project in Sapote we would like to change the focus of the event to be “Haiti Relief”. Money raise during the event will be designated for the Haiti Relief fund set up by EMCC/World Partners.

                                                                    Additional Details:

                                                                    • Persons or organizations wanting to donate an item to the Silent Auction can contact Highview as noted below.

                                                                    Plans are well under way for Highview's third work team to Haiti. The plan is to return to the rural community of Sapote to complete the building started in 2008.

                                                                    This year the goal is to raise sufficient funds to complete construction of the school building and to build the desks, benches and tables required to furnish the school rooms. The team will be in Haiti from March 8 through March 19.

                                                                    There are several ways you can contribute to this year's project:

                                                                    1) Join us during the evening on February 6th for a delicious Fundraiser Dinner and a Silent Auction. This is the third such event and promises to be a grand time for all who come. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children.

                                                                    2) Donate an item to the Silent Auction. We are always looking for new and creative items to include in the auction.

                                                                    3) Make a financial donation to the project. A tax receipt will be given for donations over $10.

                                                                    For more information about any of the above please contact Highview Community church at (519) 745-4211 or email HighviewToHaiti@yahoo.ca.
