Denny and Abby Bain, founders of Loving Haiti, will be at LBCC Benton Center (757 NW Polk Ave.,
Corvallis), Wednesday, July 11th from 5 to 7 p. m. to raise funds
for the Loving Haiti’s Child
Sponsorship Program and Well Project.
There will be Haitian food, music and handmade items from
Haiti with 100% of donations going directly to Haiti, no overhead costs. Hosting the event will be Jeff
Davis and Lynn Bain.
In 1982, Pastor Francois and Madam Romelus, a Haitian
couple, started the church with four biological children in Pignon, Haiti,
located 90 miles north of Port-au-Prince.
The Romelus’ starting taking
in orphans and eventually an entire separate house had to be built for all the
kids to sleep in.
Along the way, they developed a school, sewing center,
orphanage and church, located on a 2-acre property. With almost 50 children in the orphanage, 15 women at
the sewing center, and 250-300 children are provided with free or extremely
discounted tuition.
Because Pastor Francois and Madam do not know from month to
month what income they will have, due to lack of ongoing financial support,
they do not know if they will have enough money to buy adequate amounts of
clean water, food, school/sewing center supplies, medical help, wages for
workers and teachers for the school and orphanage, etc.
Denny and Abby Bain traveled to Haiti in 2011 and now want
to bring awareness and financial support to the outstanding work being done by
Pastor Romelus and Madam.
Mission: Provide Pastor Francois and Madam with
sufficient financial support to cover the costs of basic needs for the orphans,
sewing center, school, and church.
Vision: To help
provide the people of Pignon with clean drinking water, sufficient food,
sustainable income through micro-financing, student loans to pursue education,
libraries to expand knowledge and ultimately a place to grow.
