Needed For The Children of Haiti<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 8, 2010<\/p>\n

“St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped”<\/p>\n

Port-au-Prince, Haiti<\/p>\n

Handbells – String Instruments – Tactile learning with blocks, letters, and
\nplay dough – Canes for the blind – ASL (American Sign Language) Educational
\nMaterials<\/p>\n

“Additional Supplies Needed See List Below”<\/p>\n

Particularly needed now are funds to restore the music program and
\neducational supplies. If it wasn’t destroyed by the earthquake then looters
\nstole the rest.<\/p>\n

The children in the blind program at St. Vincent’s are trained in music,
\nlife skills, pre-Braille and Braille. Funds are always needed to support this
\nprogram to help these children become productive members of the society.
\nMany of these children are very musical.<\/p>\n

The deaf are also trained in sign language and life skills. Dee Mathes (hoh)
\nand Nicole Zatzkin (deaf) are meeting with the staff of St. Vincent’s Center
\nin Haiti in July. We will be working to establish teams to return this fall
\nto teach\/train the staff and teachers in ASL. We will also be exploring the
\npossibility of a medical team consisting of doctors, physical therapist, and
\nnurses. If you are interested in serving on a future mission team please
\ncontact Dee Mathes.<\/p>\n

If you are able to donate any of the items needed please contact:
