1/12/10 Mission of Mercy operates 14 projects in the country of Haiti, all located in the north of this small Caribbean nation, approximately 80 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake. We can now say that there has been no damage to the buildings our projects operate out of. Children are safe and the programs are operating on normal schedules. Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic where Mission of Mercy operates 30 projects. Though they experienced strong tremors, there has been no other impact to our children or project structures in that country. Communication remains difficult, but we will update information as we hear more from the project leaders. Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers. Mission of Mercy is responding to this disaster. Please join with us by making a donation to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort. Funds will go to purchase tents, food, water, and medical supplies to assist in relief efforts in Port Au Prince.
