Temporary Buildings for Haiti (8' x 12')are being built in Colorado By Core-Alliance
Core-Alliance is also building these shelters in Myrtle Beach, Houston and in Littleton Colorado. Their goal is to build 10,000 shelters that equal 4walls a floor and roof . Then stack, band the components for each unit together, and ship them to Haiti. They plan to train and pay the Haiti people to assemble them on site. There are approx . 1000 units on their way to Haiti that will be put up in mid May.
The Littleton Core -Alliance is being run by Russell Burton and the site where the shelters are being built is at Russell’s House with a 6,000 SF Shop and 4 acres. They will be working every Saturday except May 15 , until the end of June , or until the money runs out. As the rainy season comes on there will be a dire need for more substantial housing than card board and sheets.
The directions to the Burtons house is as follows : coming from Denver go south on I25 to the exit for Santa Fe Drive continue south past C 470 for approximately 4 miles Just before the Titan Road overpass there will be an electronic road sign that tells you to use Lake side Circle to get to Chatfield Drive take a left before Titan on to Lakeside Circle then right on Chatfield Drive go approximately 1 mile then left into the yard (there will be a sign about housing for Haiti) . The address is 10360 Chatfield Drive. Mr. Burtons phone number is 303-358-8838

Haiti
Emergency Relief
In Haiti we have about a dozen Evangelical Friends Churches under the
direction of Evangelical Friends Church-Eastern Region with 2000-2500
attendees. They are located 30 miles northwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Many
in these hills will be unlikely to get aid from other sources anytime soon,
according to John Williams, Eastern Region Superintendent.
John Williams reported on Wednesday morning (1-13) that with the break-down in
phone communication they had not yet reached William Bertrand, our Friends
leader in Haiti. He asks all of us to pray for contact to be established soon,
and for our Friends families and churches who may be affected.
Emergency funds are greatly needed in Haiti. All that you send through EFM will
be forwarded to Eastern Region who directly supervise the Friends Churches.
Please clearly mark your check "Haiti-relief only" or "Haiti-where needed
most." We recommend "where needed most" which gives the freedom to help the
missionaries and their ministries, too. Send your gift to EFM, P.O. Box 525,
Arvada, CO 80001.
We encourage all our Friends churches to take an offering this Sunday for Haiti.
From a heart that
cares,
Chuck Mylander
EFM Director
