Hurricane Sandy Update

We received the following update today regarding the hurricane's impact in Haiti.  The Kenscoff location is where we recently stayed with the children.  LaMardelle is where our girls currently reside and go to school.

Many pictures posted by various news outlets provide a sense of the devastation.  We cannot begin to imagine the challenges being faced by the thousands and thousands of people in the tent cities. We are eternally grateful for the protection and care that FEJ provides for the children in their care.

It did hit the FEJ Kenscoff location and caused a significant amount of damage.   There is flooding, roof damage and damage to the water tank.   The children have been relocated to another location for their safety, but we do not yet know where.   The LaMardelle location is experiencing some flooding in the school area and mobility is limited in and out of the area because of the roads being flooded.   The children at LaMardelle remain there and we received no reports of structural damage to this facility.   Thankfully we received no reports of anyone being hurt at either location.  
 Please keep the FEJ staff and the children in your thoughts and prayers, as they face yet another challenge.
