Thank you so much for your post ...Dear Mr. Morrow,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your post on social justice in the Church. We at "Let's Change Haiti" appreciate your work, especially as we are fighting on the same side in the battle for justice.<br /><br />As you know, one of the ways to help ensure victimization of men, women and children decreases is by teaching them with a skill-set that enables them to provide for themselves and lead healthy, sustainable lives. We are raising funds to support on-the-ground relief organizations that are doing just that, in Haiti.<br /><br />Partners In Health has paired "Let’s Change Haiti" – an international change collection/fund-raising campaign pioneered by college students – with a matching donor to support one of its on-going, sustainable projects in Haiti. <br /><br /><br />The project is called Zamni Agrikol, Haitian Creole for "Partners In Agriculture," and was founded in 2002 to fight child malnutrition and promote farming sustainability through empowering local farmers. Both of these needs have intensified since the earthquake.<br /><br /><br />Zanmi Agricole has three sustainable components:<br /><br /><br />1. Local production of therapeutic foods Nourimanba and Nourimil to treat and prevent malnutrition.<br /><br />2. Operation of a farm and contracts with local farmers to grow crops to make these foods.<br /><br />3. Medical assistance for the poorest farming families whose children are being treated at Zamni Lasante medical sites.<br /><br /><br />The match is a dollar for dollar match for up to $25,000, giving Let’s Change Haiti the opportunity to raise up to $50,000.<br /><br /><br />Along with on-the-ground change collection, "Let’s Change Haiti" enables online donations here and directly through Partners In Health. Campaign progress updates are available through social media tools like Facebook and Twitter.<br /><br /><br />We invite you to share "Let's Change Haiti's" campaign on your Web site, with family, friends, coworkers and your church, or please feel free to make a donation to help support Zamni Agricole. It is a project that is transforming the lives of individuals and families who have a high likelihood of being victimized.<br /><br /><br />Thank you so much for your work and passion in being a voice for those who don't have one. Please contact me if you would like more information on "Let's Change Haiti". <br /><br />Our fund-raising campaign is entering its final week, so please don't hesitate to get in contact with me or give, inviting others to do the same, as soon as you are able. Every penny counts.<br /><br />http://www.standwithhaiti.org/page/outreach/view/haitiearthquake/LCH<br /><br /><br />Best,<br /><br /><br />Kyrsten Skulborstad<br />Director of Media Relations, "Let's Change Haiti"<br />letschangehaitimedia@gmail.com<br /><br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=21312722#!/pages/Lets-Change-Haiti/332999344681?ref=ts <br /><br />Twitter: http://twitter.com/letschangehaitiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16761200708261748405noreply@blogger.com
