After a 7.2 earthquake in Haiti, children and their families need your help.

This is what happened-

On Saturday, August 14th at 08:29, local time, Haiti was hit with a magnitude 7.2 earthquake. Soon after, a hurricane passed over the area, making things even more devastating. The large-scale damage included 18,168 houses destroyed, 8,456 homes damaged, 48 churches destroyed, and 43 schools destroyed.

So far, we have-

Our team has consoled people who have lost their homes and loved ones. We have served thousands of meals to the people in the community who have lost everything. Many women from the surrounding area have volunteered to cook food. They cook all day long, but the lines continue to grow longer. 

In addition, we are building temporary shelters for the homeless as well as sanitation systems. 

As of yet, no government help had arrived in the rural area of Cavaillon where Star of Hope's pastor, Reginald Celestin, was when the quake struck.

This is the plan-

Tony Boursiquot, the operations manager for Star of Hope Haiti, says

The short-term goal is to quickly supply emergency food kits to 700 families (4200 people). Simultaneously they hope to disperse back-to-school bags to 3,000 children who lost all supplies when their schools collapsed, and the storm drenched their books and papers!

What we need-

Prayer! Above all else, the country of Haiti needs prayer. Prayer for food supplies, civil order, government help, and the Gospel of Christ to penetrate the hearts of the people.

We also need fifty-dollar gifts. That amount will provide food for a family for 2 weeks and replace their school supplies. 

Please, feed one or more families who lost their whole world to the quake and storm.

Please pray for the people of Haiti.

At 08.30 on Saturday morning, local time, Haiti was hit by a strong earthquake.

The quake had its epicenter in the sea 8 miles north of the coastal city of Saint-Louis-du Sud and 150 kilometers west of the country's capital Port-au-Prince.

The magnitude of 7.2 means that the quake is even stronger than in 2010 when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 caused enormous damage in Haiti. At that time, between 212,000 and 300,000 people died, according to the country's official figures.

Star of Hope has worked on-site in Haiti since 1978 and runs schools for 3,600 children in seven projects. Star of Hopes's operations managers in the country, Myrtha Dór, and Tony Boursiquot, were in their home outside Port-au-Prince when the earthquake started.
"Everyone felt the quake and was extremely scared," says Tony.

Their own home survived the damage.
"Right now we are trying to find out how our children have been affected", Myrtha says. "We have not yet received any information about material damage or lost lives from our project villages."

"The people in the southern part of the country felt the earthquake the most," says Tony.

We have received reports of destroyed houses and churches. Injured and dead are also reported, especially from the city of Jeremie.

Right now, they are working hard to create a clearer picture of the scale of the disaster and the most urgent need for help.
