What Haiti Needs: Relief Efforts

Haiti doesn’t need another catastrophe, whether by the hands of nature or by man. Haiti doesn’t need anyone’s degradation or pity. What Haiti does need is prayer, compassion, and collaboration!

By now, we have all heard about the havoc that category 4 Hurricane Matthew has wreaked, causing infrastructural damage throughout regions of Haiti and claiming the lives of many. The devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew is a reminder that there is ample work that needs to be done to restore this culture-rich country.
