In Haiti recent news, a delegation from World Harvest Missions Outreach of Lake Worth, Florida led by its Director, Miriam Frederick and joining Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters, along with other local elected officials and a team of volunteers, to distribute relief aid to the hurricane devastated areas including Port au Prince, Gonaives and Cabaret, Haiti this week. This is World Harvest Missions Outreach second Christian mission trip to Haiti for distribution of relief supplies since the hurricane rampage started in August.
This Christian mission trip to Haiti was coordinated with the arrival in Haiti of cargo containers of relief supplies of food, water, medical supplies, clothing, toiletries, linens, tools and household items. Working through a network of churches and individuals throughout the Southeastern United States, World Harvest Missions Outreach was able to amass the charitable donations and deliver them to the Port of Palm Beach where they were packed into cargo containers for the journey to Haiti.
In other Haiti recent news, World Harvest Missions Outreach will conduct open air clinics during this trip for thousands of Haitians requiring medical care which has been a hallmark of their Christian mission trips to Haiti for 35 years. The New Life Children’s Home, a Haiti orphanage located in Port au Prince, established by World Harvest Missions Outreach is currently taking in children who have become orphaned by hurricanes Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike and will be the recipient of much needed supplies for the children.
It is the goal of Miriam Frederick to work with elected officials from our area to persuade United States government to put pressure on Haitian authorities to develop an Emergency Evacuation Plan to prevent this type of catastrophic devastation and loss of life in the future. Miriam Frederick said “If only the Haitian government had an evacuation plan, the devastation never would have reached the magnitude that it has and so many lives could have been spared. Port au Prince has a coliseum and they could have transported residents of imperiled areas to the coliseum by bus. We are taking more orphans into our Haiti orphanage, New Life Childrens Home than we have the capacity for as a result of the storms but they have no where else to go and we won’t turn them away.” Haiti Orphanage photos at http://www.WorldHarvestMissionsOutreach.org/
