Tomorrow is the first day that framing begins at The House 4 Haiti. Once the house is finished, it will be sold and all the proceeds will go to provide a new home for the children of the Good Samaritan Orphanage in Haiti. What an exciting concept this is. People and businesses here in the States lending a hand by giving their time and resources to help children most of them have never met before. The project was dreamed up and being directed by a long time friend and business partner of mine Doug Thomas. Doug and his wife Randie have been working tirelessly, along with a very talented and resourceful board of individuals, to turn this concept into a reality. Our church, Carlisle Brethren in Christ, is sponsoring this project as well.
So again, Deb and I are humbled and continue to be grateful for how everyone is so willing to give of themselves to help in Haiti.
A "BIG THANK YOU" to:
Everyone that will be and have volunteered for this project.
All the businesses that gave or discounted materials.
The House 4 Haiti Board.
Carlisle Brethren in Christ Church for sponsoring the project.
Doug and Randie Thomas for directing the project.
Bud Jones for being Bud Jones (those of you that know Bud understand...)
Chuck Sieber for coordinating all the volunteers.
And the children of Good Samaritan for helping all of us to think outside of ourselves.
Nou renmen ou,
Jeff
