We are so grateful for any little contribution you might have that would help pave Ellen and Grace's "little way" to Haiti: donate small and make a big difference HERE or personally through Ellen and Grace.

Plans for our journey in Petit-Goâve, Haiti
We make the journey in joy and openness: to be open to finding joy in all the people and places that we encounter, and to reflect the beauty back to them in an empowering way in our collaborations with the community.
Throughout the week, Grace and Ellen will stay with a host family, explore the area, and visit the school every day.
We will bring first aid kits, and share in finding God in taking care of our physical bodies.
We will bring journals, and share in finding God in our artistic and poetic self.
We will bring tools and paints, to help our neighbors build their wall and paint a mural, and share in finding God in our community.
We will bring any additional money we raise from your support.
We hope to bring back companions on the journey-- from both here and there-- and inner transformation to love every more deeply.

Hurricane Isaac hits Haiti
We received initial reports of the tropical storm Isaac's damage to Haiti and to the School of the Child Jesus:
Comme solution provisoir,j'ai vite fait un barrage en bois avec des toles pour remedier provisoirement au probleme.Nous devons tres rapidement penser a relever le mur,pour eviter que des gents du dehors viennent penetrer la cours de l'ecole.Paix Pere Magloire Marc Claudy
Greetings
to all friends of Child Jesus School, Petit-Goâve, Haiti. Below are the
comments received from Fr. Marc Claudy Magloire, a priest of the Archdiocese of
Port-au-Prince and Administrator of Child Jesus School and Servants of Mary
Center. His comments appear translated into English
(green).
Please
help us spread the word. Once again our sisters and brothers in Haiti have
been affected by natural disaster. This time it was Hurricane Isaac.
There has some lives lost and much destruction, once again, to homes, churches,
schools.
As you
can read below, Child Jesus School, sponsored and supported by Order of Servants
of Mary has once again suffered damage. Once more, the protective wall has
crumbled. Once again, the property and the school are at risk, as Fr.
Magloire indicates below.
We turn
to you, once again, for your financial assistance in response to the needs of
the children of Child Jesus School, their families and staff. Whatever
contribution you are able to make at this time will be greatly
appreciated.
Please send your donations (check made out to Servants of
Mary) to:

advance, we thank you for your generosity. Please remember our sisters and
brothers - children, youth, adults, and elderly - in Haiti in your
prayers. Thank you!!

fait sentir.

Suggestion: Il est un fait que le
relevement du mur est une affaire urgente.Mais si vous voulez avoir une plus
grande idee de ce qui s'est passe exactement,avoir des photos d'appui vous
pouvez faire le travail apres avoir visite l'ecole en Octobre prochain. Bref! En
tout cas, ecrivez-moi pour que je sache exactement ce que je dois faire. Paix!
Pere Magloire
Suggestion: It is a fact that the raising of the wall is a matter urgente.Mais if you want a greater idea of what exactly has happened, have photos you can support the work
after having visited the
school next October.
Short! In any case,
write me so that I
know exactly what I do.
Peace! Pere Magloire
