PWOJE ESPWAÂ - Les Cayes, Haiti
Date: Starting MARCH 6th - 14th, 2010
Please join us as we lay the foundations for two new homes for the orphaned children under the care of Father Marc Boisvert of Pwoje Espwa. We'll also be constructing the new septic system and water storage tanks with assistance from the older Espwa boys and local community.
The orphanage is located in the village of Torbeck, which is about fifteen minutes from the city of Les Cayes. In this village of hope: over 680 children are receiving shelter and care, over 1,200 children are provided with academic and vocational educations and 3,000 meals are prepared and served daily.
Haiti is located on an island shared with the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. Haiti has been recently ravished by multiple hurricanes; taking lives, destroying homes, contaminating clean water and so on. Additionally, the AIDs epidemic continues to claim the lives of thousands of mothers and fathers each year leaving their children exposed and vulnerable. In fact 1 out of 8 children die before the age of five, 44% of those that survive will be illiterate, 70% will be unemployed and most will live the poverty line.
Father Marc is their refuge, maybe their oasis of hope and we can help the orphans in his care by providing them with a decent, highly hurricane resistant home. Therefore, REACH has partnered with STUCC ON STEEL and SHELTER2HOME to provide the viable building system that will be constructed with volunteers and the local community.
