"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."

Look out Quakertown McDonald's- We're On Our Way!!

One of the things Mennonites are well known for is their cooking. I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and bakers- but this is one time I'm going to ask all my Mennonite friends to stop cooking and to go out for dinner.

Why, you ask? Well, I just got word today that the owner of the Quakertown McDonald's has chosen the Tents for Haiti Project to be their charity of the month in August!! (Can you tell I'm a little excited?!)

What this means is that for every Value Meal purchased from August 1- 31, they will donate 25-cents to the Tents for Haiti Project. This money will go directly towards our goal of building 50 houses in Cotes de Fer.

Please take a break from the hot kitchen and while you're getting something to eat, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you were part of giving a Haitian family a new start in life!

See you at the Mickey D's in Qtown!! :)

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."
