HAITI 2011...

(click all images to enlarge) FormulaOneLife Extended Wings Director Janet Kasper just returned from nine days in Haiti, where she and our partnering team from Metro Church delivered over $4000 of infant formula (see post below), Medika Mamba (life saving therapeutic food to treat malnutrition) and over $15000 of water purification units, vitamins and Kids Against Hunger food to four orphanages in critical need. The trip was indeed life changing for Janet who shared the story of one delivery in particular which brought her to her knees... at Real Hope for Haiti- a rural orphanage a long distance from Port-au-Prince- the orphanage Director reported they had just used their last can of formula the day before... with 18 infants to feed... they had only five single serving packets of powdered formula left in the orphanage. The delivery was truly an answer to prayer. (please see:
realhopeforhaiti.org/?p=5015).
Many of the infants and children were terribly malnourished- having been brought in too late by their parents who could no longer care for them... Real Hope for Haiti is doing their best to feed and nourish 84 infants and children in a country where food is a luxury and formula is $43/can. Please help us continue to support them with desperately needed aid and prayer. Thank you Mike Philips of Acts2HelpOthers for leading this critical mission, METRO Church and our own Janet Kasper for hand delivering such vital aid and truly saving countless lives...
