Haitian Students Return To Reconstructed Schools: Good News About The Salvation Army’s Continued Work In Haiti
November 5, 2011 by admin
Nearly 700 students started the school year in newly repaired Salvation Army school buildings. The Haiti Recovery and Development School Renovation and Construction team worked hard during the summer months to start, and finish, repairs on four of six priority schools scheduled for improvements in 2011.
Not only were project manager David White and assistant project manager Raymond Cédoine working hard to ensure schools were ready for the start of classes, but they were building local capacity by training a maintenance team in repair and upkeep of the buildings. The work included masonry and carpentry work, roofing, latrine and electrical repair and installation of water catchment systems.
Heavy rains contributing to impassable road conditions have slowed progress on schools in Bellegarde and Campeche, but work should be completed by Christmas. ‘We have met many challenges and overcome them with everyday problem solving and great determination,’ said David.
By the end of 2014, almost 20 schools affected by the earthquake will have been repaired and reconstructed. There are seven schools slated for 2012, including two new constructions.
David said, ‘We are excited about the wonderful repaired and constructed schools The Salvation Army in Haiti is receiving.’

Need Christmas Assistance?
October 6, 2011 by admin
We know it’s only October, but Christmas seems to come quicker every year. That can be a little unsettling considering the state of the economy and the recent reports on the poverty rates in Indiana – 16.3% - the highest in 30 years. Let’s face it, families are struggling to make ends meet. Many folks in Indiana are beginning to inquire about Christmas assistance. It’s overwhelming when you can hardly come up with the basics – like rent, utilities, gas, etc. Who can bear to think about making sure their children have a few gifts under the Christmas tree while worrying about putting food on the table night after night?
That’s where The Salvation Army comes in. We’re here not only here to assist people with those everyday necessities, but also to bring a little joy to children & their families at Christmastime. With that spirit of giving, we invite you to contact your local community’s Salvation Army Corps at the beginning of November to begin the application for Christmas assistance. You can locate the phone number and email for the officer in charge, in the “Contact Us” section of this website. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and direct you to the date, time, and place for applying to get help for Christmas 2011.
