Appeal from FPCD Partner HOWGLOBAL and Requests for Haiti
Hands on the World Global Updates and Requests for Haiti
Dear friends, board members, family and advisory board,
I would like to start this letter by thanking you for the ongoing words of support. Finally our 501c is being approved. Thank you to those of you who donated your time to help me with this painful process.
Word of our Green Community Hub concept is spreading and we are being nominated for awards for the success of creating base stations of outreach in developing countries providing the basic needs of life to the forgotten children of the world. Using schools, clinics and orphanages has really worked like a charm and has helped us in reaching out to thousands.
We started with water installs and then it took on a life of its own.
Water really has brought LIFE and HOPE and MOTIVATION to these people.
My goal has always been to expand the project outside of South Africa once a firm model program was in place. And this has happened.
The villages you have supported in South Africa are flourishing.
We are now working in 8 villages. The school and clinic villages know what is expected and each hub that we have formed is taking ownership.
I am traveling to South Africa March 21st to the 31st and we are in the process of installing water into 3 more villages.
I will be able to document this while I am there.
We also will be starting a chicken farm for food security and have 2 schools in the UK who have adopted projects that will help our hubs with food and water security. Some of the UK funding will help to put lights into a school for the first time.
Because of the great support system of girl scouts, Boys and Girls clubs and public and private schools, the projects move forward and also are inspiring cultural awareness, peace and friendship.
I am getting many calls from colleges and church groups that wish to donate and also visit the hub areas. This is a dream come true.
Our mural projects continue to connect school to schools and make us all feel connected.
HAITI
Right now, I am working hard to secure the right place for us to start Green Community Hubs in Haiti inside and outside of the earthquake zone.
Food, water and health are the main mission of our organization but we must first make sure that the children within our hubs are safe.
Human dignity comes first. They are living outdoors and in conditions that we would not even allow our pets to endure.
In Haiti, we have chosen to work with a doctor from Sparta, NJ who has been giving his time to Haiti for years. He was just on channel 12 news last night. Dr Bonnet, introduced me to Pastor Kelly who heads a village inside the earthquake zone of Haiti. A perfect potential hub as it is 30 minutes from the airport and has a wonderful onsite leader, Pastor Kelly.
Sadly, this village lost their church, clinic, school and orphanage. Also destroyed was a bakery that was supplying food and also jobs to the locals. 600 children attended the school.
Right now, Pastor Kelly is begging for beds for the children of the orphanage. 60 children.
They are living in a large tent. My goal is to purchase cots for them right now so that we can get these kids off of the ground before the rainy season begins (mid April).
According to the pastor, the children are getting sick from sleeping on the ground. There is no padding, blankets or sheets.
I have found stackable cots that I would like to order and they are 140.00 for 6 of them. I will start with 60 cots.
All of my funds are tied up into our Africa projects so I am reaching out to you and asking you to sponsor a cot for a child.
You may go to my pay-pal account at www.howglobal.org or you can send a check to HOW Global 4 Schindler Drive Sparta, NJ.Please mark as Haiti.
We have free shipping once the cots get here because Doctor Bonnet is sending over buses that shall be turned into medical
clinics. So, we will fill up the buses with supplies including these cots as they make their journey to Haiti.
For those of you who know me well, you can rest assure that I will be going to Haiti to make sure that the cots are in place but also will be doing research to see how we can get a school back into action there so that the kids have a safe haven.
Right now, school is not in session and the children do not have that stability of food, water and safety that a school provides each and every day.
There will be a fundraiser and concert taking place in Sussex county May1st
And I wait on proposals that I have submitted to assist me with me work but must reach out to ask you to support me by making a donation.
If you can assist with donating medical supplies please let us know.
Locally, I also will be collecting rice, beans, pasta and peanut butter.
Thank you so much,
Rachael Paulson
