ASCASH- Haitian local non-profit organization

Huge break through today! Carlos and I met with the CEO of ASCASH. He explained how he's trying to support 150 families and 250 orphans. We interviewed several families that are receiving support from them and a couple of the staff. The staff are trying to feed themselves as well as the other families. All members of this organization have lost their homes. Even though they themselves are in need, they are putting others first and supporting 450 other families. The orphans also will have a chance to attend school, which is a tremendous benefit, due to the fact that all schools cost money to attend. In light of this terrible earthquake, the orphans have a shot at education. This opportunity for them is a bright spot for their futures as well as Haiti's. They are opening the school for free to these children. From tents, food and water to school supplies, these courageous men and women involved in ASCASH are putting their necks on the line to help their fellow Haitians. Awesome!

  1. Great news! Awesome to read about the continued selflessness of people. In light of their own loss, they are choosing to give more than what they have. WOW. Thank you for the post. Looking forward to reading the many more stories ahead!
