The focus of the Haiti Ministry at St James Episcopal Church has always been "Changing the World One Child One School at a Time". Because of the generosity of the St James fellowship and others, we have achieved the following goals:

     We provided 18 scholarships at $75 each for students to attend St. Andres school in Hinche, Haiti.

     We sent $10,000 to St Mathias School to complete the roof on the new primary school for 300 students.

On Fr. Walin DeCamps recent visit he described the dire poverty in Haiti and the heartfelt hope parents have for the future of their children

Thanks to our Haiti team and your generous support, the Northern California Diocese awarded a $3,500 grant to our project.

Some of our parishioners are planning to attend the Haiti Connection Conference scheduled for November 12 through 14 in Port-au-Prince.  Pre-conference trips are planned to take small groups to outlining missions.  Would you consider joining them?  For more information please contact Jerry Harner at (916) 543-4734.

We are grateful for these many accomplishments, but now much more is needed:

	Complete the school
	Doors and windows
	Desks and chairs

Your generous donation is needed now to complete this important project. Please send your contribution to the church (note Haiti Ministry) or put it in the offering plate. "One School One Child at a Time", the echoes of faith is spreading further than we can imagine.  Through prayer and God's help we can complete this important project.

In God's Abiding Love,

The Haiti Ministry Team
