<div style="font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
30 August 2017</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
To all who love and support our Haiti Mission:</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Since Fr. Gregory's death, his Matushka has been trying to keep up with the needs of the Haiti Mission as best as she can. Donations slowed to a trickle, so Matushka has been trying to pick up the slack from her own resources, –– resources which were then and now both uncertain and inadequate.</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
When I arrived in Tennessee this past May, Matushka then expressed to me her belief that the Haiti Mission can not continue in ROCOR. We had already been severely weakened by the schism of the MP-union, and now, without Fr. Gregory, (our giant), it is not possible for us to continue to provide for Haiti as usual.</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
There is no way we can continue to raise the amount of money that Fr. Gregory regularly provided to Haiti. We managed to collect enough funds (thanks to you all!) to get pretty well caught up and to get this year's food shipment to the school. But it took every ounce of energy we had, we can not maintain that level of urgency. Our donors, too, have extended themselves and need time to recover. We can't just keep having back-to-back emergency fundraisers.</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
My idea for a solution comes from my father of the flesh, himself a successful businessman:</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: Futura; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
"Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. </div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: Futura; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Teach a man to fish, you feed him for life."</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
How about if we give the Haiti Mission start-up money for their own business? Something that brings in money from outside of Haiti, such as from tourists or maybe an export. </div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
The school, St. Augustine's, already does generate some income. But the income is from within Haiti (tuition). I wonder what business we could reasonably afford, something the Haiti flock could run themselves – not a million dollar hotel, but maybe we could afford a B&B..? Or what about a taxi service? </div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
It might be a possibility for a representative from Haiti to be set up with a business in the USA, if business ventures are too risky to set up in Haiti.... </div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
I want to ask Rdr. Nicolai to think about how this might work. He is probably too busy with the school to operate a business along with the school, but he has a good head for business. I want to see what his thoughts are, but communication is difficult through the machine translations, and I'm afraid misunderstandings will occur. We need a volunteer who speaks French.</div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
First, I think we need a chief. This project needs to be separate from the existing Haiti Mission Relief Program which juggles all the different ongoing needs (food, salaries, supplies, repairs, construction, etc.). </div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #004d65; font-family: 'Avenir Next'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Please everyone, think about this, and please share your (positive) ideas, suggestions, and nominations for a chairman.</div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">When Fr. Gregory died, the Haiti Mission lost not only its director, but a dependable provider. When donations were not forthcoming, Fr. Gregory always filled the need at the time and worried about paying for it later. An example is when repairs to the school mount up. Rdr. Nicholai sent me these photos:</span><br />

We have enough money to ship the food donation from <i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Feed My Starving Children</span></i> and some to put towards the food distribution and preparation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c;">More than 1/3 of the donations came from overseas. The largest donation was raised by Bishop Gregory in Sao Paulo.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">We are glad to have some new donors added to the emailing list from the GOC. </span>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12000679422093371576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5718293582858386322.post-82597490776530707902017-08-05T09:26:00.000-07:002017-08-29T11:43:42.759-07:00Fundraising Campaign<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The Haitian Orthodox Mission of the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia provides money and relief to citizens of Haiti, the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. Money is used to support education through learning materials (books, computers), teacher salaries, and construction work in the Mission's two schools, the School of St. Augustine and the School of St. Nicholas, and in two parishes, the Parish of St. Augustine in Jacmel and the Chapel of St. Dorothy of Kashin in Port-au-Prince (both parishes are served by a single priest, Fr. Amboise). Money is also used to provide scholarships to students in schools not run by the mission, to provide transportation that supports the mission's purposes, and for necessary liturgical materials in the misson's parishes. Donations are also collected to transport food that has been donated to feed the mission school's students throughout the year (for many of them, their only full meal each day). The costs of this transport alone is near $6,000. Donations are also used to pay the teachers in the mission's schools, and they are especially in need of this now as teachers are behind on their payment due to a lack of donations since Fr. Gregory's repose. Making a contribution ensures serious consolation to many in Haiti, and the growth and renewal of our Holy, Orthodox Faith among those suffering there. May God reward you for your help towards our brothers and sisters in Haiti and towards our holy, suffering Orthodox faith.</span></div>

<div style="color: #323333; font-family: Times; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The campaign is organized by Joanna Higginbotham in Tennessee , at Fr. Gregory's parish of the Annunciation with help from Seraphim in New Jersey. Money will be collected by Joanna who, together with Fr. Gregory's widow, Matushka Anastasia Williams, will send the money directly to Fr. Amboise in Haiti via secure bank transfer. Fr. Amboise allocates the money to the various sources listed above, which will vary slightly as the circumstances of the mission change over time. Due to conditions of the mission in Haiti, it isn't possible at the moment to send funds directly there. We hope that this will be possible in the future. </span></div>

<span style="color: #323333; font-size: 18px;">This mission was organized and provided for both spiritually and materially by Fr. Gregory Williams before his repose, and since then it has been much harder to collect a suitable amount of funding for the mission. Although there is always need in Haiti, for those who benefit from the mission this is especially so now.</span></div>
