Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti. If you are interested in a relief organization that supports Haiti please consider Friends of the Orphans / Neustros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH). (NPH is Spanish for "Our Little Brothers and Sisters".) NPH cares for orphaned and abandoned children in Latin America and the Caribbean. The organization is known as "Nos Petit Frères et Sœurs" (NPFS) in Haiti.After this Haiti earthquake, there will be many more orphans needing care. You may use the below donation link to help support NPFS 2010 Haiti Earthquake to support their relief efforts.
Only a few hundred miles south of Florida, USA, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, the island nation of Haiti. Here, a fifth of all children die before they reach the age of five and the life expectancy rate is only 48 years old. Father William Wasson founded Nos Petit Frères et Sœurs (NPFS), Our Little Brothers and Sisters, in 1988.
In December 2006, a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital in Tabarre, named St. Damien Chateaublond, was inaugurated. The hospital’s main focus is on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malnutrition and cancer. This facility provides in-patient care with 120 beds and out-patient care for up to 100 children daily. There is also a dental clinic, laboratory, and public health clinic on premises. Adjacent to the hospital is Kay St. Germaine, a 2,300 sq. ft., rehabilitation and physiotherapy center. These programs reach over 30,000 people annually.
In 2008, DonnaBellas Angels donated "Carribean Beach Angel" for their Saint Damien Pediatric Hospital in Tabarre, Haiti. (The picture shows the painting hanging as a banner at the hospital before they framed it. The words are Creole for "Joy" (Jwa) and "Peace" (Lepe).
