Haiti Earthquake Relief
The city of Port-Au-Prince and the country of Haiti have been devastated by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck around 5pm on Tuesday, January 12. Global Partners is partnering with Christian Light Foundation* (http://christianlightfoundation.com/) in Jacksonville, Florida, to provide humanitarian aid and services. We just returned from Haiti providing medical relief and assessing how we can best help during this time of crisis and in the days to come. We know that it is going to be a long road to recovery for the people of Haiti, but we realize that we can make a difference in the lives of the Haitian people, one heart at a time.
The precious Haitian people need your help!!! Your donation can make a difference in the lives of countless Haitians.
Providing Hope to the Hurting: Haiti Child Sponsorship Program - GPPD is pleased to partner with CLF to help provide hope to their students at the Christian Light School in Port-Au-Prince, whose lives were forever changed by the recent earthquake. For more information, click here: Haiti Child Sponsorship
*PLEASE NOTE: While GPPD is able to provide its Associates with 100% of their donations received (with nothing taken out for administrative purposes), when partnering with other organizations, we have no control over the administrative fees that they charge. Be assured that 100% of the money that is given to the GPPD sponsorship program will be sent to the Christian Light Foundation.
