We have received the following email from Compassion about the situation in Haiti:
‘As you may be aware, Hurricane Irma passed over Haiti at the end of last week. I know you will be anxious for news of Bedline, so I am writing to share what we know.
The hurricane’s impact was felt primarily in the northern part of the country. Bedline does not live in this area, and we believe she is unlikely to be affected. If we do hear that she has been affected, we will be in touch right away.
The highest priority for our field team in Haiti right now is to establish communication with each project in the affected areas and provide assistance in the form of medical care, shelter, clean water, food and counselling.
Project staff are visiting children and their families to pray with and encourage them and provide other assistance as needed. Compassion’s disaster funds will initially be used to ensure they are safe, fed and cared for.
We will be praying for Bedline and for all Compassion-supported children, families and church partners in Haiti in the aftermath of the hurricane. Please join us in praying that they would know God’s peace and comfort.’
