I Need Your Feedback!

Andy English, one of the many wonderful people I met in Haiti, is working with me to find a Haitian supplier of beads. I am hoping to hire Haitians to make the beads and then I will send a percentage of the sales price to Bethlehem Ministry so they can continue all their good work for the people of Haiti.

This photo is of the beads he has found. Please let me know what you think.  I am hoping the Haitian will be able to make a clasp, wooden or metal to finish it.

The eyes of Haiti

Haiti

My name is Cathy Dorman, Partner of WD Designs, a small jewelry company that specializes in fund raising for non-profit organizations. This month I would like to highlight the work of one of these wonderful organizations:  Bethlehem Ministry.

Bethlehem Ministry, Inc. is a non-profit organization created for the sole purpose of aiding Haiti’s poor.   They “adopted” Terrier Rouge as their home, and have worked to establish a Montessori based pre-K through 8th grade school (Ecole St. Barthélémy); an income generating, sustainable agricultural project (Jatrofa Pepinyè); and a medical clinic (Clinique Espérance et Vie), which seeks to meet the health and wellness needs of the local community.

I traveled to Terrier Rouge in the North East region of Haiti with a group from Bethlehem Ministries.  This month was the 1 year Anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti and I had the distinct honor of being there during their remembrance ceremonies.  Much work has been done  but there is so much more that still needs to be done.  I worked on a Campaign against Cholera, gave eye exams to students, painted the clinic office and created storage facility for the school.
