Meet Pat Benson
- Long-time Sponsor
By
Nancy Frana
Pat Benson is
a faithful sponsor!
She sends many
letters and cards
to her young
partner Macouse
in Jeannette
– even
though they don’t
have means to
respond. They
do, however,
know who you
are!
On
our trip this
year, I found
Macouse’s
home and brought
back some pictures
for Pat. When
we stopped to
greet them, they
were very excited!
They stood proudly
in front of their
meager block
home for pictures.
They sent a big
“Thank
you” home
for Pat.

Thank
you! Thank you!
Last April, Bishop
Miller called
on Episcopalians
across Wisconsin
to donate to
an emergency
food program
for the Jeanette
Community - and
you answered!
As of June 1st,
YOU have helped
to raise thousands
of dollars -
and your generosity
is still
growing. During
this food crisis,
the Haiti project
is using your
generosity to
feed the school
children a healthy
lunch of mamba
-- a peanut butter
sandwich with
juice.
Our August newsletter
will describe
how the Haiti
Project is working
towards a more
sustainable food
program to assist
Haitians in times
of crisis [a

invented at St.
Thomas helps
convert bread
fruit into flour!].
Donate
to the emergency
food fund:
for just $60
you can feed
ALL the school
children of St.
Marc's for a
day. Make your
