The Haiti Partnership Committee
Donors Support List for Haiti Expenses
We need your help in 2009 as CHC parishioner and youth formation
teacher, John Mutin will join others March 18-23 on a Haiti Mission
Trip. In 2007, parishioners Amy O?Dell and Marilyn Arensberg went
and still reflect powerfully on it. In 2008, Dr. Debbie Hooser,
Dr. Susan Nelson, the Rev. Drew Woodruff and 3 other volunteers
served 159 patients in three and a half days working at St. Vincent?s
Center for Handicapped Children in Port-au-Prince. Most patients
were treated for high blood pressure, diabetes, malaria, worms,
fever, pneumonia, asthma, and even a cleft palate; most medicines
and medical supplies were purchased here and taken down in missionary
suitcases, while additional supplies were purchased at pharmacies
in there. For 2009 Lenten "peace and compassion" giving,
here's a varied list of the important ways you can support John
Mutin and the crew during and after their travels to Haiti.
