Homes for Haiti - 2011

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 finalize to completion the building started in 2008. Our second goal is to train the local craftspeople in building/assembling permanent Hurricane/Earthquake proof homes to help the country rebuild as housing is a very critical need for Haiti.

This year the goal is to raise sufficient funds to complete two "Prefab" homes. The team will be in Haiti from May 10th through to May 19th.

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

1) Join us on the evening of February 19th for another delicious Fundraiser Dinner and Silent Auction. This is the fourth such event and promises again 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.
