Local Connection
to Haiti: Two families in
LaPorte started the Haiti Children's Education Fund just last
month. I learned that they and
their friends have been volunteering in Haiti for 20+ years. They first started going there to save
children’s lives. The more time
they spent there, the more they realized the need to educate those children if
Haiti will ever have a brighter
future. Then disaster
struck.

Haiti.
