2020 Haiti trip update
We hope and pray that all our team, volunteers, donors and sponsors along with their family members remain healthy and safe in this time of viral crisis.
A group of 7 women traveled to Haiti from March 10- March18th. Jet Blue decided to cancel all flights on Monday, March 16th so we had to scramble to get flights out on Wed. We ended up 3 on Spirit and 4 on American. Everyone arrived home safely. Haiti shut their airport that Friday as there was a case of corona in the capital. We thank you for your prayers. God kept us safe with the assistance of our Haitian workers, the sisters, and the Port au Prince police.
We were able to see 329 of 349 students. The country was calm and many people where out and about. The weather was sunny and high 80’s low 90’s, with a beautiful breeze. The students were in school and it was wonderful to see the sisters and children. There are only a few cases of corona in Haiti. We pray every day that it stays that way because people do not have any resources to fight this in Haiti.
We are presently working on tuition paperwork and hope to have it in the US mail by May 15th. It takes some time to assemble pictures, letters and tuition paperwork, so please bear with us. Check out our newsletter as we have a couple of changes happening this year.
We plan to open June 6th through August 29th at St. Bernard @ St. Camillus church hall, same as last year on Saturday afternoons from noon-3pm. We have been collecting shoes and food items all winter and have had a wonderful response.
St. Bernard @ St. Camillus, 333 Mechanic St, Fitchburg, MA 01420 (Drive around to the Elm St. side of the building. Enter below the overhang for the church. Plenty of parking.
We look forward to seeing our volunteers and will have plenty to do, so come on down and join us!
Please be safe and stay healthy.
God Bless,
Deacon John & Pauline Aliskevicz – directors
