Haiti Relief Update

♥ As of Tuesday, March 2, two shipping containers/medical clinics filled with St. John's and ChristChurch donations have left for Haiti! We don't yet have a third container donated at this time but we are still collecting items.

♥ $1900 has been sent to the JeLA Orphanage.

♥ $800 has been sent to the Blanket School.

♥ A drilling crew is on-site and work has started on the well at the JeLA Orphanage. This well was donated by the Bellaire SW Houston Rotary Club. The St. John's/ChristChurch Living Waters team handled the arrangements. We plan to add a solar-powered electric pump and water treatment system to this well in June or July.

♥ Medical, personal hygiene supplies and clothes are being accepted for the 3rd container. Money is needed for direct aid to the orphanage, and the solar-powered water treatment system.

♥ Checks can be made payable to St. John's with Haiti Relief in the memo line. Volunteers are also needed for the water system installation trip, particularly for the solar power system installation. Please contact John (713-776-3548, freeman@rice.edu) if interested.
