a Godsend

Earlier today I sent out a post highlighting the power of our ongoing partnerships in respondinding to the tragic earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This email from Lee Warren (who just returned from a week in Haiti), is another beautiful illustration of what happens when all of us work together.

Stop Hunger Now hosted a meal packaging event Episcopal Diocese in Memphis, TN. The meals were sent to Haiti. The email below describes how some of those meals are now being used.

The food Memphis packaged was initially packaged for St. Vincent’s School for Handicapped Children and school children in Montrouis. Plans changed following the quake. The food was stored at the Episcopal college. An American Episcopal priest reported this:

 St. Vincent’s is destroyed, no matter what you hear. I do think that is reality. The boy’s foyer is destroyed as well. No one knows the exact number of children who died. Sadoni thinks 6-10 at the main facility and maybe 4 at the foyer. The numbers “move” all the time! To my knowledge, no adults lost their lives there. The food sent earlier was a Godsend. It was stored in the depot on the College St. Pierre campus where everyone ended up. It has been used and appreciated (Pere Sadoni wanted me to tell you that).
