Clean Water for Haiti

Through my church, Christ & St. Luke's Episcopal in Norfolk, I have begun raising money to dig a well in Haiti, a beautiful but tragic place where more than half of its 10 million people don't have access to clean water. The group I belong to, Caring for Creation, is working with Haitioutreach.org, one of the most respected organizations working within that country. By the end of this year, we hope to raise $15,000 -- the cost of planning, drilling and maintaining a well on the Haiti mainland. So far, we're more than a third of the way there!

You can help by sending a check to Christ & St. Luke's and designating Haiti Clean Water. Please send to:

Many thanks.

The campaign to dig a water well in Haiti has begun! First of all, one church youth group took a pledge to drink nothing but tap water for two weeks, and several friends and parents sponsored them. Another, musically talented, group had a "busking" during coffee hour during which congregants tossed donations into a violin case. More than a thousand dollars was raised! Soon after, a plant and herb sale generated another thousand. At this point, with many more activities planned, we have about $6,200 toward our goal of $15,000.
