Thank you to all for your help with collecting for Haiti

By bkalsi | February 25, 2010

A couple of weeks ago we made a request from one of our partners, Free The Children, to see if anyone could help with collecting supplies for Haiti and their schools.

We would like to thank all of those who answered our call to action, especially the parishioners at St. Philip Greek Orthodox church in Nashua, New Hampshire, who pulled together and gave more than expected.

Leading the charge was an amazing and beautiful human being, our dear friend Raina Papadopoulos Metivier. Raina was instrumental in making the plea and we are forever grateful to her and the parishioners for their kindness.

Six weeks after the devastating earthquake Haiti is still struggling to help all those who have been displaced. Reports from Free The Children talk about people still sleeping in hospital grounds with nowhere to go and the incredible compassion of women who are taking in a number of orphaned children in an attempt to give them hope for the future.

Although it may not be frontline news we hope and pray the world does not change-channels and move on. The pain and struggle of the Haitians is still being felt every second of every day by those who no longer dream but live in fear, worrying about how they will make it through another day.

If you would still like to help, please get in touch with either WCCCI or Free The Children.
