Homemade Maple Syrup goes into the Silent Auction

These biology students at the University of Saint Francis have tapped the maple trees on campus.  Here they are boiling the sap for 10 hours.  This syrup will be making it into the silent auction for your bid.  Thanks freshman biology students, this will be a hit!

If you haven't signed up for the race, we have made it really easy for you.  On the right side bar are links to sign up online or print off registration forms.  In fact print off a few and give them to people who you know would love to participate.  On top of that there are free Casa Salad lunches for participants and lively music and a silent auction with great donations.  What a great time you would have.  Along with everything else you would be helping build a fabulous facility in Haiti for the young orphans who have been through so much.  We look forward to seeing you!

Michelle

When she came to live at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage she had some monumental development issues to overcome. 
Look at her now.
Please participate in the two races that are upcoming or if you would like just make a donation on the right sidebar.
It will be a wonderful day when these children can move into their new and safe facilities.

Thank You Reynolds and Reynolds

It is greatly appreciated that Reynolds and Reynolds have printed the flyers for the March 22nd Scholarship Run in Celina Ohio. 

A child who lives at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage in Haiti.  Behind this face is a story, a story of survival, a story at that would probably tear your heart out. We are building an orphanage that will house 160 beds.  A safe place where the kids can run and play and be kids with no fear.  Please help us...any amount will assist. 

We would love to come and talk to your group and tell the story.
It's a good one.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.   

Thank you Dr. Kate Heimann

Website for Briarwood Village.

Two New Orphans-Please donate to the orphanage.

We have no available picture yet.  There are two new residents at Our Lady of Perpetual Help orphanage. Kerline and Vernise are their names and Father Andre will be taking these two sisters even though the orphanage is overcrowded.  Theirs is a tragic story.  They were living with their father and he was murdered in his sleep.  They escaped but were covered in his blood. The murderers burned down the house also.  They have an older brother and an Aunt but they do not have the means to care for the two girls. 

This orphanage is very important...please consider supporting its continued construction, email for details re: ways to financially assist.

A Big Thank You

Thank You Judy Koesters, Attorney at Law, in Coldwater OH for your donation of a $500 scholarship to a high school senior who participates in the Formula for Life Scholarship run in Fort Recovery, OH on March 22

Big Steps for Michelle

Michelle is three and the youngest resident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help orphanage.

 

Michelle was abandoned in a garden and when found she was severely malnourished and covered in ants.  Madison is helping her learn to walk.

If you would like to see a short video go to the Facebook page. 

Looking forward to the New Home

This is Marvinson.  He is looking forward to moving into the new orphanage of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.  It will have so much more room to play and run.  There will be enough beds for everyone plus there will be more room for more orphans. 

Here he is enjoying time with Madison on her first day in Haiti.  Madison will be there for six months. 

Scholarship Run-Don't Forget to Sign Up!

Elle travelled to Haiti last spring...motivated to help, she is organizing the 1st annual Formula for Life SCHOLARSHIP run.. It is targeted for high school seniors and offers them the opportunity to win a $500 scholarship to the college of their choice.

Student traveling to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage

Michael left earlier this month for a six month stay in Haiti at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage.
The children will love having him there to give them attention.

Judy also left but will not be staying for the six months.  By the looks of it she is having a great time.

Madison is also staying for six months.  Having more people to give attention to the children helps them improve and grow. 

Have a wonderful journey!
