ACWAM (Active Christians with a Mission) is looking for help for its missions in Haiti. This Sarnia-based group supports 3 orphanages and 3 Christian schools in Haiti. They are looking for:

- sponsorship for children ($30.00/month). See the bulletin board for information;
- financial donations;
- people willing to go to Haiti for a short period (costs $1600);
- Metro cash register receipts;
- items such as barrettes, balloons, small toys, etc. (see bulletin board for complete list).

Please put these items in the box at the back of the church.

Haiti is so poor, it is now considered a fourth-world country so much help is needed. A major problem is Voodoo; it is very prominent in Haiti and presents many challenges for Christian workers. No administration fees are taken from sponsorship money or funds designated for Haiti. To make a donation, put it in your envelope and mark it "Haiti". For more information on ACWAM, see the bulletin board or www.acwam.ca
