Haiti Update: Tent Schools Now Open

Earthquake-affected people in Haiti continue to receive support from PWS&D through the Action by Churches Together (ACT) Alliance. In recent weeks, 22 large tent schools allowed 4,000 students to resume classes in Leogane, a region in which 95% of the schools were destroyed or badly damaged. Teachers are being trained to help children get access to education and overcome from trauma they experienced during the earthquake and its aftermath.

Your Help is Needed for Long-term Recovery

To date, Presbyterians in Canada have given nearly $1.5 million to support Haiti relief through PWS&D. Long-term efforts are focusing on livelihood restoration, trauma counselling and the rebuilding of homes. Your prayerful and financial support is making sure we can continue on the long road to recovery and rehabilitation.

You can make a donation online, through your church, by mailing a cheque to the office or calling PWS&D at 1-800-619-7301, ext. 291. Please mark all donations "Haiti Relief." Thank you for your generous support.
