"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."

The village of Cotes de Fer was much like our community right up until the minute of the devastating earthquake. The town had schools, churches and small businesses up and running just like in our community. Every time my dad, Jim Frankenfield, traveled through this community, he thought of the similarity to our Souderton/Telford community. At present, these strong beautiful people are living under make-shift sheet tents and it is starting to rain. I can't even imagine. We, at the TENTS FOR HAITI Project, are in immediate need of blankets, towels and hygiene products to send down to our friends in Cotes de Fer. Each of us has something we can give, this community needs our help, and we would love you to help us help them in any way you can.
