We want to say a huge thank you to all those who gave and prayed for the recent crisis relief effort. Together, you raised over $17,000 to provide food relief through our church partners, jobs on the PLH property, seeds for farmers to plant in the community, and English and sport camps for kids. Through this project, we witnessed two communities, that of Camp Marie and that of the PLH supporters, come together to accomplish something that brought hope, encouragement, and opportunity to so many.
Here is a short message from PLH Camp Marie Operations Manager, Benedic Maxime.
Things have begun to calm down in Haiti. Most schools have reopened. People are able to return to work. Resources are being distributed once again. Though we do not know what the next month has in store for Haiti, we are thankful for the current relative peace and we rejoice for what God, through you, was able to give to Camp Marie these past couple months: jobs, food, hope, and a more united community.
Here is a video showing twenty individuals that were hired for short-term work on the PLH land.
