Update from Haiti
1/22/10 - 16 children from the Foundation Enfant de'l Jesus arrived safely in Ft. Lauderdale last night to their 14 waiting adoptive families. This was truly a miracle coordinate by an amazing team. We are so thankful that these children are home safe, but the director of Foundation Enfant de'l Jesus has already been asked to take in up to 92 new orphans. They need our continued support to help get needed supplies and care for these children.
The most effective way to help get continued shipments of supplies to the orphanages is to make a monetary donation to the Village of Vision for Haiti Foundation, which is the sister organization for Foundation Enfant d'el Jesus based in Miami.
Donations of supplies such as food, water, formula, powdered milk, diapers, blankets, and medical supplies can also be sent directly to the Village of Vision for Haiti Foundation warehouse in Miami. Once we have clearance to fly those supplies to Haiti, we will do so immediately. The address is 107775 SW 190 St., #41, Miami, FL 33157.
If you are interested in adopting a child from Haiti please contact us at info@adoption-link.org and we will contact you once the immediate needs of the orphanage and its staff are met.
