Trinity Church, Newtown's Extraordinary Generosity

The children of Trinity Episcopal Church hosted a Call of Hope for Haiti on Friday at the Blue Z Coffee House, 127 S. Main St. in Newtown, and then held an hour-long forum on Sunday to learn more about Good Samaritan Rebuilding Fund efforts. Joanne Kimball, the Public Information Coordinator for the project, visited Trinity, spoke and answered questions. 


In a nutshell, this week we plan to order two large tents. Discussions continue about the most appropriate locale to rebuild École le Bon Samaritain. Jean-Elie Millien is still here in the States meeting with supporters and working on details. As you might imagine the task is formidable. Meanwhile, about 35 children are re-enrolled and taking classes, some in the Stamford Police Department tent and others in spaces made available to us.

Contributions continue to come in. One of the best parts of Joanne's visit to Trinity was that the children gave her a check for $1,240.60, the money raised at the Blue Z Coffee House. Even more money was raised on Sunday morning. WoW! Thank you children of Trinity and thanks to all the others who have made this awesome gift possible.


By the way, the Trinity children named their project "Haiti's Octopi" because the octopus has many arms, each doing a lot of work together. How cool  is that? Again, THANK YOU KIDS.
