Haiti Earthquake Update

Thanks to the wonderful donation from Greater Mt. Calvary Holy Church in Washington, D.C. under the leadership of Bishop Alfred Owens and First Lady Susie Owens, we have paid for the Harvester Solar Water Filtration System that was ordered on faith. Our plea was posted on line in early February. We are so grateful for their donation which not only paid for the filtration system, but has allowed us to expand our BioSand Water Filter Progam as well. Thank you Greater Mt. Calvary Holy Church!

URGENT URGENT URGENT

We need food and water for over 1500 refugees that have flooded Petite Riviere De Nippes (3 Section, Dupuy2) at our Solar Bakery location. Pastor Romane Nore is our project manager.

The Mercy Outreach Ministry International Inc. has a Solar Bakery and I have been attempting to supply rice, beans,corn, but we are a very small organization and not equipped to feed this many people twice daily! They are in need of basic medical and first-aid supplies, too

The bakery is a microenterprise and was self-sustaining until the earthquake. We are prepared to cook large volumes of food on the two Villager Solar Ovens but we need the food. And, the people need tents or tarps. They have no shelter. They need medical attention.

Please, please, please respond to this email. Pastor Romane’s cell phone is 509-377-02587. Dr. Fritz Olivier, our official/and Treasurer can be reach on his cell at 011 509 3732 2133 or 240-793-6641, 2246-0476 if necessary. Dr. Olivier has our Power of Attorney in Haiti. His university, the GOC, was destroyed in the quake (7 stories high!!).

It is so hard to think that they might be alive in there but no way to get to them.  We just got some more photos in from Haiti.  See the slide show below.
