Disaster in Haiti and AIDS centre and School
Lisette Casimir (in red) and Haiti school survive quake
Frontiers Foundation thanks everyone who has helped out by their past contributions. There are many great success stories about our organization, but the most topical is our very recently built Aids Centreand school, pictured here, in St. Michel de L'Attalaye, Haiti. The pictures tell you what a great, great project it is. We are very pleased to report that the school/AIDS centre has survived the earthquake.
Unfortunately, as you are all aware, food is scarce and our students, parents and surrounding community need help desperately. Fortunately, we have a direct pipeline to Haiti and we are able to help out in a quick and efficient manner. Our close relationship with the Mayor of St. Michel de L'Attalaye - Lisette Casimir (the woman in the red shirt) helps us ensure fast and efficient delivery - and she also used to work for our Founding Director, here in Toronto. We are glad to report that she has not only survived the earthquake, but she was able to bring her family out of Port-Au-Prince to St. Michel de L'Attalaye.
Frontiers Foundation is a registered charitable organization, and thus a charitable receipt will be sent to you for a donation and the Government of Canada will be matching your donation provided they are received prior to February 12, 2010.
PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY !! (please note that you'd like your donation directed to Haiti)

On December 8 and 9 Lisette Casimir, our Haitian partner in a full range of development projects for over thirty years came to Ottawa and Toronto to expedite support for her splendid new school and HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention and treatment facility in St. Michel de l’Attalaye. The school is now open, with 268 children in preschool up to grade 6, and the HIV/AIDS building half completed. Charles Catto introduced Lisette to Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) officials in Ottawa on the 8th, with both returning to Toronto for Lisette’s welcome at Head Office. Lisette brought the exciting news that the electrification of St. Michel by Frontiers Foundation back in 1981 will soon be powerfully restored and expanded by Electricté d’ Haiti.
