February 7, 2012 a team of three people from the Prince of Peace Parish, Great Bend, Kansas will travel to Haiti to learn what their churches donations have accomplished. The church in Great Bend has provided earthquake recovery funds to help a small rural parish.
Star of Hope was chosen to facilitate the relationship because our America office is close to Great Bend and our work on the ground in Haiti is well documented. For more than 30 years Star of Hope has worked in a partnership with local community based organizations in Haiti to help build a world where children become educated, healthy adults who are involved in their communities and share their love of Jesus Christ.
While we presently don't have a permanent relationship with the particular rural Haitian Parish we are happy to help make possible the relationship between Great Bend Kansas and that parish.
The team will be led by Barry Borror, President & CEO. While in Haiti the team will visit the rural parish, meet with the Priest and discuss possible ways to help each other. They will also see several Star of Hope partnership projects and get to interact with the children.
While in Haiti the team members will blog to keep you informed.
