VISIT TO THE US
Cherlie and I (Dr. Wolf) enjoyed several weeks in the US in April and May, attending to FHH business as well as visiting with our families and taking care of medical and dental needs. We attended FHH’s annual fund-raising banquet in Milwaukee, the Gratitude Gala, celebrating 20 years of FHH’s existence. We trust that everyone who attended the gala felt blessed as we shared the history of Friends for Health in Haiti and expressed gratitude to the Lord and to our supporters for helping us make the progress that we have. over 200 people attended and we raised over $200,000, funds that will be used to pay for staff salaries, medications and supplies for our clinic, assistance to the needy through our Indigent Patient Fund, goats for our Goat Program and latrines and other needs for our community development programs. We were thrilled to see the generosity of our guests and to feel their warm enthusiasm throughout the evening. Thank you all very much!
We also had a Haiti Appreciation Luncheon at Dr. Wolf’s home church, Kingston Presbyterian Church, in NJ. They also helped us celebrate the 20th anniversary of FHH, including having a decorated cake for everyone to share. And, they collected toy cars and girls’ hair decorations and barrettes for us to bring back to the clinic. When it comes to Dr. Wolf’s pediatric patients, these little gifts are essential to their care!
