notes: FROM THE SITE: The destructive power of the January 12th earthquake in Haiti humbles our imagination. Like you, we are stunned with the instantaneous change in life—in some cases from life to death—of so many people. MBF stands with our partner, the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti, as they suffer with and serve the people of Haiti. Even as the people are devastated, so is the Diocese itself with the destruction of its Cathedral and University and many other of its institutions of education, service and worship. We give thanks to God, nonetheless, for their faithful witness to Christ’s grace and mercy in the midst of disaster. Bishop Duracin, whose home was destroyed and whose wife remains in the hospital, chooses to live with his people in a tent city among the ruins. He has established an emergency committee to lead the Diocesan response and to work with others to give help where possible. In this kind of a situation we are reminded that we are but one part of a swirling ballet made up of a host of organizations that offer help in times of great need. We are grateful that we have been positioned to make our own contribution of help in significant ways. Our involvement with the Diocese has been focused for decades on Hospital Ste. Croix and in more recent years with the founding of the FSIL Nursing School in Leogane. These institutions became the base for what we have been able to do. We are grateful that the FSIL Nursing School board and the Hospital St Croix board have asked us to handle the $200,000 grant from the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program to give help in Leogane. What strikes me strongly is that it is the years of work of MBF and others that lets us be helpful and faithful now. It is the relationships carefully nurtured, the resources gathered, the capacities built, the infrastructure created, the training established, the donations made and the faith celebrated that let us walk with our partners in this time of need. Effective response requires an existing platform of service. For that reason, I ask you to continue to support our whole ministry. There is urgent need in many other places, and the emergency need may be in one of those places next time. ---------------------------------------------------------------- FSIL Nursing School - SEE CAT FACILITY RECORD AT: Hospital St. Croix - SEE CAT FACILITY RECORD AT: -> FROM THE SITE: The destructive power of the January 12th earthquake in Haiti humbles our imagination.

mission: For over 40 years, The Medical Benevolence Foundation (MBF) has worked to provide hope and healing to those most in need. Working with our international church partners, MBF supports healing ministries in more than 100 hospitals and clinics throughout the world. Our work includes: Funding MBF Provides crucial funds needed to give medical care to the needy. We also help fund medical mission workers and build, maintain, and operate hospitals in some of the world's most impoverished nations and communities. Through your gifts, MBF contributes to the fight against diseases of poverty, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and malnutrition. Medical Supplies MBF works with U.S. partners to fill cargo containers with surplus donations of medical supplies and equipment, which are then sent to a wide variety of grateful facilities around the world. MBF works hard to insure these supplies arrive in safe hands and are put to good use to help those in need. Mission Service Personnel Through an international short-term Mission Service Program, MBF is able to recruit healthcare professionals and others to support healing ministries in developing nations. We also support PC(USA) long term medical missionaries. Community Development MBF goes even further than immediate healing needs by working toward lasting changes that effect whole communities. This includes community health programs, helping to train indigenous healthcare workers and personnel, education programs on disease prevention and nutrition, and more. Awareness Domestically MBF works to inform donors of the great needs around the world and how, together, we can all be a part of this exciting work. MBF reports back the mission impact of your gifts, on lives saved and transformed, and progress made through these ministries in many places. -> For over 40 years, The Medical Benevolence Foundation (MBF) has worked to provide hope and healing to those most in need.
