Back from Haiti - With Project 7

My husband David Jurek and I had an incredible opportunity recently, which in true fashion he jumped all over and I dragged my heels till I could “process” it! We were invited down to the Children’s Village in Trou du Nord, Haiti with the non-profit organization New Reality International. NRI have joined hands with a Haitian organization called Centre Orphelinat Bon Samaritan de Trou du Nord (COBSAMAT). Their combined forces have created Project 7, a self-staining property for children that have been orphaned, abandoned, abused, at-risk, and ‘restavek’ (child slaves). To read more about the organization and Project 7, visit this link: http://www.newrealityinternational.org/#!project7/c1ha3.

If projects like this excite you, feel free to ask questions and/or donate towards the amazing life changing stuff happening for these kids. David has taken on the volunteer role of Development Director for NRI, so feel free to contact him (davidjurek@me.com) regarding the best way to donate (tax receipts available). The project is currently in its second phase and still needs lots of financial support until everything is completely self-sustaining. The village currently has 19 kids (18 and under) living on the beautiful 7 acres. They were very excited to move into their new home only a few shorts weeks ago!

Here are just a few pictures from our visit :)


Thank you for sharing with us, David and Alicia.

Many OCC members should remember Joel coming to have Sabbath School last year.
Take a look at this blog post from August to remember what he told us about his work in Haiti.
