Your generous support will double its impact through this initiative and will help to meet the staggering needs for humanitarian aid and for recovery and reconstruction activities.
A magnitude – 7.0 earthquake devastated the capital city of Haiti, Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. This is the strongest earthquake to hit the nation of Haiti in more than 200 years and has crushed thousands of structures, from schools and homes to the National Palace and the U.N. peacekeeping headquarters. The devastation is so complete that the death toll is estimated at 50,000. The International Red Cross reports that “an estimated 3 million people have been affected by the quake”.
We are grateful for the safety of PAOC missionaries Michel and Louise Charbonneau as well as other personnel Tami Goslow and Bob Thornley. ERDO ChildCARE Plus works with a number of children and families in the Port au Prince area. We are waiting on news regarding their status. Join with us in praying for their safety and the well being of their families
ERDO (Emergency Relief & Development Overseas) is responding as the humanitarian agency of the PAOC with practical help for the victims. There is a critical need for supplies to meet basic human needs and to help with recovery. Please direct your donation to ERDO’s “Haiti Earthquake Response”.
