As a result of the earthquake most people in Port-Au-Prince lost their homes, however, many other towns like Leogane, carrefour, Kenscoff and others were hit very hard as well. Thankfully our school is still left standing although it sustained some structural damage. 80% of the homes near the school were destroyed. Many people are dead with others injured. This also means that many of our students are homeless and some are hurt. The Baptist mission Hospital nearby was affected by the quake but is still functioning. It ran out of supplies a few days ago and the director of the school and orphanage Jean -Alix Paul donated all of the emergency medical supplies he had to the Hospital. Even though there are a lot of humanitarian aid going to Haiti right now, most if not all of it is focused on Port-Au-Prince which means smaller town are left helpless. Hope for the Hungry is currently on the grounds and working on building new homes and providing shelter for our school children.
