Audio Adrenaline's Hands & Feet Project [www.handsandfeetproject.org] (http://www.handsandfeetproject.org%5D) Children's Village is located in Jacmel, Haiti -- the city in which Gustav first made landfall. The Project took quite a blow, as they received more than 25" of rain in 24 hours and were hit by a mudslide. The flooding and mudslide were nothing, though, compared with the eight feet of rock that proceeded to tumble down from the mountain, destroying two of the Project's homes as well as it's main storage depot. Everything stored inside the building --from clothing and diapers to food and tools-- was a complete loss! Mark Stuart (AA's lead singer) and his father went down to Haiti this weekend with a Civil Engineer to take inventory and to look at solutions for clean-up and future preservation.
Unfortunately, we had JUST begun clean-up when Hurricane Hanna hit and re-flooded our Project with over 10 feet of water! All we need is a few dry days to begin clean-up and to construct a retaining wall, but Ike and Josephine are both looming to the east... So we continue to PRAY.
Thank God, ALL of our staff and children are safe. Unfortunately, they --36 children and 9 staff-- are all living in the one remaining undamaged home. The Project has been devestated, though not beyond repair. What is needed now is helping hands and prayerful hearts.
Thank you... and PLEASE help us spread the word!!!
