Adoption Update

1/31/10
The situation in Haiti remains unchanged, and in fact, may be a little worse then when we last communicated. It appears that organizations like UNICEF, Save the Children and World Vision are pressuring the Haitian and U.S. governments to halt adoptions. At the same time, orphanages are being asked to take in 100’s of children. Crèche Enfant Jesus has been asked to admit anywhere from 100 – 300 children!!!

Get Involved
There are many ways you can become involved with Chances for Children. Here are just some ideas
Donate Supplies - currently are biggest needs are in the areas of medicines, food, and cleaning supplies. These items are available in Haiti but at very high prices. If you have access to bulk quantities of any of these items we would ask you to send them to our inventory warehouse and we would then be able to arrange for transportation (via cargo ship) to get these items to our children and staff in Haiti.
Donate your time - do you have an area of expertise that can help us (legal, design, agricultural, contractors, teachers, nurses, doctors, cargo shipping, warehouse space, bookeeping) we have needs in all of these areas. Please contact us if you want to help join us as we attempt to provide a chance for the children of Haiti.
