• Hearts with Haiti (HWH) is a nonprofit that was founded in 2001.

• HWH fundraises to support a Haitian ministry that cares for disadvantaged young people, including former child slaves, street children, and the severely disabled.

Hearts with Haiti, Raleigh, NC

• The earthquake of 2010 in Haiti destroyed two of the facilities we support, but we have rebuilt one and have grown our programming.

• We are still fundraising every day to keep the mission alive and to rebuild Wings of Hope, our home for the disabled.

• HWH has a hardworking Board of Trustees and one staff member in the US, Geoffrey Hamlyn, Executive Director. There are around 80 staff that work for our ministry in Haiti.

• Our offices are right across the street from NCSU at West Raleigh Presbyterian.

• The PHC helps HWH with administrative tasks – such as mailings and research.

• Every two hours volunteered = 1 PHC point.

• During the next 2 weeks we will have significant needs for support on mailing projects. We will send requests out through Brandon Williams and Michael Tilley.
