HAITI VISIT 2012 OPPORTUNITY
(FROM PRISCILLA CRAW AND
GRETCHEN ECKARD)
BABY CAPS NEEDED. Priscilla Craw
hopes to return to Haiti in April or May 2012 and would love to take
small/newborn baby caps again this year. There is a need for caps made with baby
yarn using size 3 or smaller needles. Samples and pattern instructions for
knitting/crocheting/sewing will be posted on bulletin boards in Narthex and
Fellowship Hall. Thank you for keeping these little ones in mind when you
purchase yarn.
DELIVERY KITS can now be purchased at
market in Haiti. This is very helpful in building their economy, serves as a
teaching tool, and reduces travel bulk from U.S. to Haiti. Monetary donations
for purchasing kits in Haiti's market can be made out to Grace Lutheran Church
with “Haiti Project” written in memo section of check. If using church
envelope, designate the amount and “Haiti” on the right side of the
envelope. Donations are tax deductible.
PRE-NATAL CLINIC. Priscilla
has hopes for possibility of setting up a pre-natal clinic in the future. Any
baby caps you make or monetary donations given to help with this opportunity is
much appreciated. Many thanks for your special ways of helping and sending love
to the less
fortunate.
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
