James V. Pocock Jr, Pastor

DESCRIPTION:

In the capital city of Port au Prince, Haiti (the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere), Cit¨¦ Soleil has been described as the "worst of the worst" slums. But in this region of widespread disease, pervasive illiteracy, unemployment, hunger, and malnutrition, Pastor Dieuseul Estivene of the Trinitarian Congregational Church in Wayland, has undertaken a mission to build a church and school. Creating in the midst of poverty an oasis of learning, safety, and hope, children are cared for, taught, and fed at least one meal a day. The concrete structure rises from the ground--now two stories high, but still incomplete. The mission needs funds to finish the project and to provide the meals, tools, and salaries to keep it running. $1260 month feeds 150 children one meal a day. $6000 pays for a cement mixer and block machine to help complete the construction. The total amount needed is $32,000. Won't you join Pastor Dieuseul in raising hope from the ground up?
