Dr. Dopf is Back From Haiti Dr. Craig Dopf, UW-Health Surgeon who practices at Meriter Hospital, has returned from Haiti. Dr. Jan Byrd from the Haiti Project organized his trip and flew with him to Ft. Lauderdale and put him on the plane to Haiti. Meriter provided 165 pounds of medical supplies for his mission. On WISC-TV Live at 5, Dr. Dopf recommended that people Donate to the Haiti Project's emergency relief fund: "If people donate to that fund, they can be assured it'll end up in the right hands."

Miller's appeal
to help Dear Friends in Christ, I write to ask your prayers and assistance for the people of Haiti who have been so devastated by yesterday’s earthquake. As a diocesan community we have had a long-standing relationship of deep affection and concern for the Diocese of Haiti and its people, particularly in the community of Jeannette. I am pleased to report that the two young men who were part of a recent mission trip from this diocese, and who are still in Haiti, are safe, and, it is hoped, will return home soon. At present we do not know the status of the facilities in Jeannette. We have received an unconfirmed report that the nearby town of Leogane was less severely affected. I pray that is the case for the people of Jeannette. I promise to keep you apprised of information regarding Jeannette as it becomes available. The devastation in other parts of the country is great. I am asking each congregation to take a special collection, which will be sent through Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) for the people of Haiti as they begin to rebuild. Alternately, those wishing to make a direct contribution to ERD may do so at www.er-d.org/donate-select.php Thank you for your compassionate response. Yours in Christ, +Steve A. Miller

| Our Haitian Mountain Blue coffee is rare and comes from the same type of coffee plant & is grown in a similar region as the wildly successful Jamaican Blue bean - but at a fraction of the price. We ship beans green from Haiti to Madison; we air roast beans in small batches every few weeks to provide FRESH and EXCELLENT tasting coffee. Our Mountain Bleu roast is medium dark, rich & SMOOTH; cool nights at high altitudes produce gentle / nonacidic & FLAVORFUL coffees! And most importantly: OVER $5 a bag goes back to Haiti: $2 to haitian coffee farmers and $3 to the Haiti Project. |
Our
Mission 
The Haiti Project
is an Outreach
Ministry of the
Episcopal Dioceses
of Milwaukee.
We work in partnership
with others from
all walks of
life who share
the belief that
education, clean
water, access
to medicine,
and compassion
are basic human
necessities.
Ending poverty
in Haiti is multifaceted,
and we take our
role of stewardship
seriously. That’s
why more than
90% of our expenses
are used for
programs that
directly affect
the people living
in Haiti - especially
the small and
mountainous community
of Jeannette.
100% of our funding
comes from private
sources, including
individuals,
churches, corporations
and grants. Our
collective goal
is to promote
self-sufficiency
and independence.
Join us. Let
us know you're
interested.
