Laughs for Haiti
The staged reading is over. SFH raised $646 toward the loan that Jean will need for his taptap. Thank you all for your support.
As you know if you've attended any of our Trivia events, SFH puts the "fun" in fundraising. There's another opportunity coming up to have fun for a cause.
On Friday night, June 15, you'll be able to have a few laughs and get a glimpse inside the world of Hollywood (sort of) while helping a friend in Haiti.
The event
We will be holding a "staged reading" of a film script. The script is for an original G-rated comedy called ...
Biznis Progress
Back in November, our first Biznis Pam class graduated from entrepreneurial training. We thought you might like to know how they're doing today.
Monite, our field director and trainer, sent us an update this past week. Here's the good news:
Of the five people who attended the first class, four created business plans that were approved and funded with micro-loans. (The fifth student didn't meet all class requirements.) All four new businesses are in operation. Here is Monite's report on the status of each:
Three of the four new businesses are growin...
Redistributable SFH information
From time to time, people have asked us to make redistributable information available so they could spread the word about Servants for Haiti.
As such material is produced, we will add it to the following list:
SFH brochure - Full color informational brochure about SFH, its history, and mission. Feel free print out or email as many copies as you need and spread the word.
...more to come...
If there is anything you want to see here, let us know.
New logo
When Servants for Haiti began in 2005, we served children in an orphanage and school. To graphically represent our mission, we created the following logo:
The picture of Haitian children coupled with that slogan effectively got our message across. We helped individual children get a good start in life through care and education.
About a year ago, that task was transferred to a new organization, HIA, and SFH moved on with our new calling. Today we are helping young adults and whole families get back on their feet through new homes, businesses, and continuing ...
Trivia 2012 recap
Our 3rd annual Trivia Night and Silent Auction fundraiser is now history. And a historical event it was! Almost 160 people were in attendance at the Lowell Elks. All expressed their excitement over the evening's events. Here's a sample of the comments:
We all had a great time at Trivia last night.
You have done a wonderful job of growing this event, every year. It looks like it is now established as a Spring Tradition, at this point, and hopefully a solid fundraiser for Servants for Haiti.
Really nice venue - a lot more space than last year and climate ...
March 2012 trip report
On Thursday, March 15, a small cadre of SFH representatives traveled to Haiti to survey conditions in general and our work in particular. We are pleased to tell you that there are many good signs to report.
We met with some of our post-high school students who are thriving and excited about their prospects. Watch this site for more reports and profiles of these young people.
The initial batch of SFH-backed businesses has begun their efforts to support themselves. We were delighted to find, in a local grocery store, candies distributed by one of our budding ...

Haiti – Two Years After
It doesn't seem possible that it has already been two years since the earthquake that shook the literal and virtual foundations of Haiti. If you lived in a tent under constant threat of violence, disease, and the elements, it would feel like an eternity.
Servants for Haiti isn't looking at the years but the lives. With your support, we have educated more students, helped more hopeful entrepreneurs, and housed families. For those folks, two years ago seems a lifetime away.
Stay with us as we look forward to more changed lives and a better Haiti.
God bless ...
