"TENTS FOR HAITI Project"

There is a 30+ year connection between the Souderton area and the Haitian village of Cotes de Fer. When the earthquake struck Haiti in early January, 27 members of the Souderton community were in Cotes de Fer working to provide the village with clean water. This blog will describe the Souderton community's work with its Haitian sister village. "One person alone cannot rebuild a village, but as a community together we can."

Lots of Community Support!

When we first began this TENTS FOR HAITI Project, we knew we couldn't do it alone. We began going to community groups, media outlets and local businesses. The response has been both humbling and overwhelming! We currently have a list of 23 area businesses who have stepped up and either given us outright donations, or they have helped us by giving items at a reduced price, or they've allowed us to put collection boxes at their places of business!
We presently have 3 collection boxes out for you, as community members, to help with the hygiene items listed in the previous entry. The boxes are located at the Indian Valley Public Library, the Tylersport Post Office and Yours, Mine and Ours Consignment Shop in Telford. We thank these businesses for partnering with us and we ask that when you visit them, you would bring along an item for the collection box.
If you are a business owner and would like to have a collection box placed at your location, please contact us! We'd love to hear from you!
Little by little, step by step, we can help the people of Cotes de Fer start to rebuild their lives!

There is a 30+ year connection between the Souderton area and the Haitian village of Cotes de Fer. Back in 1963, after Hurricane Flora, people from our area went down to help rebuild the town using block from a local block company. When the earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, 27 members of the Souderton community were in Cotes de Fer, working to provide the village with clean water. This blog will describe the Souderton community's work with its Haitian sister village. "One person alone cannot rebuild a village, but as a community together we can."
