Haiti has so many needs -- pick a topic, and it likely needs support: food, water, housing, medicine, schooling, economic sustainability. Undaunted, we're an army of volunteers with diverse backgrounds and skill sets. We select projects that align with community need, our skills and our inability to say no. We're yes-men and proud of it. You can be a yes man/yes woman too. If one of our projects appeals to you, send us some funds, give us advice, or point us in a direction. Your tax exempt donation will be sent to you. 90% of our budget helps Haitians in need.

Bishop's Annual Spring Appeal : In 2008, many of you responded generously to my appeal for help for our brothers and sisters in Jeannette, Haiti. You may recall I had just returned from Haiti where Cannon Pfaff and I experienced first- hand the critical food shortage. This was subsequently worsened by back-to-back devastating hurricanes in the fall of 2008. Your response to my plea was heartening and enabled us not only to help the students and teachers through that difficult time, but also plan for future need. Each Spring, we will be conducting an annual appeal to continue supporting those living in Haiti. Sincerely, The Rt. Rev. Steven Miller

Donate to Bishop Miller's Annual Appeal During times of emergency, your contribution will feed school children. During other times, your donation will go towards helping Jeannette develop self-sustaining economic projects for food, clothing and shelter.

Child Sponsorship : Sending a Haitian Child to school is a great way to experience the joys of helping a child in need and making a lasting difference in his or her life. As a sponsor, you will be sent annual photos, report cards, and an occasional note from your school child.

By sponsoring a child, you help a child become self-reliant, productive citizens in their communities. Your donation provides:

• A qualified teacher and school supplies
• Nutritional assistance {e.g., daily vitamins}
• Preventative and curative medical care
• Community programs for clean water & food
• A chance to hear about Christ's love
• A message that someone cares

Your sponsorship can be a 1-time event or you may follow a child through graduation.

Child Sponsorship lets you share a unique relationship with a child.

Sending a Haitian child to school costs $200 annually, and you have the opportunity to stay with your child a number of years. Some sponsors begin when a child is very young and the child may not graduate until his or her early 20's. While we hope you are able to continue your support until graduation, we recognize circumstances change, and you may discontinue your sponsorship at any time. Send a Haitian Child to School in your own or a loved-one's name

Singing Rooster's Mountain Bleu roast is rich & somewhat sweet; cool nights at high altitudes produce gentle & FLAVORFUL coffees! Mountain Bleu comes from the same type of coffee plant & is grown in a similar region as the wildly successful Jamaican Blue Mountain bean - but at a fraction of the price. Mountain Bleu sells for ONLY $8.95 (12oz bag) – a DEAL compared to Jamaican Blue which sells for $49.99 lb.

Coffee Project : Singing Rooster

The Haiti Project is selling Haitian coffee we've named Singing Rooster after the Bishop's favorite alarm clock: Big Red - who's wake-up calls began at 4:00 am.

Purchasing Singing Rooster coffee supports Haitian farmers including those living in Jeanette – beans come from grower cooperatives. 100% of proceeds go BACK to Haiti for economic sustainability programs like coffee agriculture.

Supporting those in need is deeply satisfying; Moreover, Haitian coffee is delicious! Our coffee is natural; natural crops mean a better tasting coffee, a better environment.

And don't forget: Coffee makes an EXCELLENT gift!

Trade School : Haitians Rebuilding Haiti

Jeannette's trade school building is complete -- and just in time as the process of rebuilding Haiti will be underway shortly.

Haitians are ready and eager to learn the trades of electricity, plumbing, tiling, agriculture and sewing; they greatly desire to play a part in rebuilding their country.

We need your support to launch classes beginning June 1st. Over 160 people are registered [almost 1/2 are women] for 3-months of intensive training that will aid Haiti's reconstruction.

Your $100 donation puts one student through training.

Water Project : The Haiti Project collaborates with other groups and foundations who are doing wonderful things to fight third-world poverty. One such organization is the Gift of Water. Communities without running water is the norm. Drinking stagnant or unpurified water leads to sickness and malnutrition.

The Gift of Water developed a cost-effective solution for water purification. The purification process is simple and similar to most public systems in the United States. The Purifier is composed of two 5 gallon buckets that detach. The top bucket is filled and a disinfectant is added – usually chlorine tablets. The bucket sits for 30 minutes, giving time to kill bacteria and parasites. It is then placed on top of the second bucket and allowed to filter. There is a spigot on the lower bucket.

The purifier contains two filters – one for sediment and one for removal of chemicals and disinfectant by-products. Currently, rain water is the primary source of water in Jeannette and is collected in cisterns.

By donating to the water project, you'll help us buy buckets, chlorine tables and repair cisterns that store water during non-rainy seasons [half the year there is NO rain].
