Haiti...

So I am so pleased to be able to announce that RWI will be traveling to Haiti on September 2nd.  RWI's first project was suppose to be in Kenya, but after fundraising for almost a year we are still very short financially and unable to go over there and do what needs to be done.  In the mean time we have teamed with The Mercy and Sharing Foundation based in Haiti.  The projects we are doing for them are going to help just as many children as RWI would have been able to help in Kenya for a fraction of the cost, allowing us to act now.  We are saddened that RWI had to put the Kenya project on hold, but we have NOT given up on it.  We are continuing our efforts to raise the funds needed to go to Kenya and do what we promised.  

I will be bringing you all more information about our trip.  We will be providing 11 filtration systems along with birthing kits and donations for the orphanage.  M&SF has an orphanage as well as a home for terminally ill and handicapped Children along with a home for Abandoned Babies.  RWI will be working with M&SF to set up the filtration systems at each of their locations as well and spend time with the children in their care.

We are so grateful to all that have donated to RWI over the last year.  The money you have given is finally going to do some good!  We are so excited for this awesome chance to help.  

Home is a place where I'm at peace

A paradise safe and so serene... yeah

A wonder I love so much

Such a rich tradition

To a land of hate and violence

Where did we go wrong?

I'm caught in a war of identity

That threatens to hurt my family

It seems so cold when nobody cares

But now I know

Please won't you show some empathy

Cause if you don't help someone in need

Nobody cares

See us the same not differently

Why would you be afraid of me?

Oh yeah

Cause fear and hate held inside

Encourages this genocide

You can't kill the spirit of life

It never dies!

Ooohh

Where did we go wrong?

I'm caught in a war of identity

That threatens to hurt my family

It seems so cold when nobody cares

But now I know

Please won't you show some empathy

Cause if you don't help someone in need

Nobody cares

Nobody cares

    Nobody cares...
