Coffee & Conversation

Because of the tragedy in Haiti, I am reposting this thank you note from Dorothy Pearce with links to her orphange for those of you who have been asking for information on worthy causes to support .  We have contributed to Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue for a number of years. 

Also, here is a link to Dorothy’s blog, detailing her experience throughout the earthquake and letting us know she and the children survived, a little battered, but ok.  http://dorothypearcehaiti.blogspot.com/

Here is the original post from October 14:

We regularly get thank you notes from people and organizations we have helped.   I wanted to share just one that we received today.  This is not to pat ourselves on the back or to rest on our laurels, but just a reminder of the impact our little church can have on the world far away from our lovely little island.

This note is from Dorothy Pearce and the Faith-Hope-Love-Infant Rescue which is part of the Christian Light Foundation.  The photo is of one little girl who was rescued.  Let’s pray Haiti gets through this hurricane season better than it did last year.  They are still suffering and still need our help.

If you click on the letter or photo it will take you to their website.

Kathryn Stockett’s first novel is wonderful. What a way to start 2010 by reading a story about a time in Mississippi which we all remember – the 60’s. A young white woman decides to interview black maids about their lives and the lives of the people for whom they work. It is a study in bias, racism and lines that need to be crossed; there is unspeakable cruelty and some loving kindness, unfortunately more of the former and less of the latter. It is a fast, fantastic read – you will not be sorry you took the time. I loved it.
