    Thank you or your part in the vision o World Wide Village. We cant ully know

    the impact or the people o Haiti, brought by every dollar, every prayer and

    every volunteer eort, as God continues to lead us in this rebuilding eort.

    The pace has quickened over the past year, stemming rom recurring

    challenges in shipping ood, growing demands rom Haitian organizations

    who desire support and our own ocus toward strengthening World Wide

    Village in pro-actively operating according to Christ-like principles.

    The people o Haiti have all but disappeared rom headline news, making our

    job o bringing awareness that much more dicult. Each month the world

    seems less cognizant o Haitis ongoing need, yet the present and uture

    outlook or Haitian people is plagued with high levels o unemployment,

    growing numbers o Cholera cases, hundreds o thousands still living

    in makeshit tents with little hope or suitable housing, and the lack o

    sustainable agriculture. Only 43% o the aid pledged ater the earthquake

    (nearly two years ago) has been disbursed.

    As a parent, I simply cannot imagine the desperation elt by almost 700,000

    people who battle to survive, living under tarps that leak during the many

    torrential rains. Parents are orced to stand, holding their children, during

    rainstorms in order to keep them dry as oods rage through their tent cities.

    Education, productive work, community progress even celebration andplay all these lie standards are only dreams or those who huddle together

    under imsy, weather-exposed hovels. And these unbearable conditions are

    all overshadowed by not knowing how their children will be ed each day. The

    quest or ood and clean water is their daily, all-consuming struggle.

    The responsibility to provide ood services and meet other essential needs

    or the poor is not primarily the responsibility o Haitian government welare

    programs. Its a higher calling than that. It is a Kingdom responsibility o

    Christians. Our Master commissioned us to care or those who are destitute

    and thus share Christ with them. Unortunately, we have dropped the ball.

    Too oten we blame politicians or dreadul social problems, while neglecting

    to generously take responsibility. Because Government does a poor job, we

    oten excuse ourselves and ail to contribute something that could actuallymake a dierence.

    The vision o World Wide Village goes well beyond simply giving to the

    Haitian need. We are called to serve the Haitian people in a way that builds

    their uture. As we move into the next era o transorming lives, empowering

    communities and loving people, we expect to build on the established

    oundations and serve as a orce or positive social, cultural and econ

    growth in Haiti. Lie is not about yesterday but about tomorrow. Our p

    awareness can and should be the catalyst to turn the nightmarish past

    healthy and productive uture.

    During the past year, WWV has made appeals to oundations and corp

    donors with reasonable success. The expansion o social media has req

    continual enhancements to insure that we eectively communicate

    riends and supporters. We have also launched expanded program

    training pastors in Haiti and we are committed to oering regular leaopportunities or the educators in the schools we administer and suppo

    Early in 2011, our Haitian riends elected President Michel Martelly to a 5

    term. The parliament caused major delays in the approval o his Prime M

    candidate(s), stalling the appointment o new leaders in the various ca

    level positions, delaying much-needed services to Haitian citizens. Pre

    Martelly is now dealing with a growing problem with Cholera, chall

    with national security, issues with the shipping ports, ood shortage

    weaknesses in the healthcare delivery system, along with the crisis in ho

    We can make a dierence. Please take time to explore this booklet,

    listening or Gods call to put your aith into action. Look or new ways to

    your gits. The beautiul people o Haiti need us to hear what He is tellion their behal.

    My continual prayer or us who have been given so much is that we mig

    challenged by the words o John:

    I anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in

    need but has no pity on him, how can the love o God be in

    him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but

    with actions in truth.1 John 3:17-18

    In John 6:1-14, Jesus used the willingness o a small boy, who gave his m

    fve loves and two small fsh to eed 5,000+ people. Just imagine wha

    can do when we are all willing to share.

    May you clearly see your part as you consider Gods direction to you on

    o the beautiul people o Haiti.

    Sincerely,

    From the heart oF World Wide Village

    We envision a day in Haiti when evey child is immunized, enjoys healthy and nutritionaldaily meals, and has access to quality Christian education. The amily unit has been

    reestablished, sucient health care acilities exist, local communities have clean, sae

    water, and adults are gainully working toward economic sustainability. And, everyone

    knows someone who knows Jesus!

    World Wide Village (WWV), a 501(c)(3) non-proft organization, was ounded in 2001 by

    a group o U.S. entrepreneurs whose hearts were touched by what they saw when they

    visited Haiti. The group made a pledge to help amilies by providing unds, resources and

    expertise. Our objective is to transorm lives and empower communities through Christianeducation, local churches, nutrition and health care, housing construction, sustainable

    agriculture, economic development, and clean water. WWV intends to be a catalyst or

    the creation o vibrant communities while working to eliminate chronic dependency and

    restore dignity.

    Celebrating 10 years is no small milestone or any organization. On August 18, 2011, WWVproudly celebrated its 10-year anniversary as an organization. With Gods help and the

    help o our aithul donors, much has been accomplished - yet much remains to be done.

    We hope that you will be encouraged by the successes o the past ten years and prompted

    to join us to accomplish more in the upcoming years.

    RELIGION Nearly all Haitians claim religious aliation (80% Catholic; 16% Protes1% none and 3% other). However, 50% o Haitians claim to also practice vodou

    EDUCATION Only 61% o the population age ten (10) years and older is literat

    rural areas the rate is ar worse at 47%. Less than 46% o Haitian children at

    school regularly. (Haitian Institute o Statistics and Inormation 2003. T

    numbers are purportedly worse since the 2010 earthquake.)

    SANITATION The average American uses 80-120 gallons o water per day. The ave

    Haitian uses just under 4 gallons per day. The water and sanitation situation in

    is among the most dire in the Western hemisphere. According to the WHO/UN2008 Joint Monitoring Program report, only about 70% o urban residents and

    o rural residents have any access to improved water services. Sanitation covera

    also very low in both urban (29%) and rural (12%) areas o the country.

    HEALTHCARE Only about 3 out o every 5 Haitians has access to some orm o he

    care services (Pan American Health Organization). In a country o approximat

    million people there are 2,250 physicians, 1,957 licensed registered nurses and

    dentists. (CIA: The World Factbook)

    NUTRITION More than one-third o all children who survive their frst birt

    already show signs o severe growth retardation. O every 1,000 children boHaiti each year, 72 will die beore their fth birthday rom poverty related ca

    AGRICULTURE The World Bank has defned Haiti as a low-income, chronic

    defcit country unable to produce even one-hal o the ood it needs (43% in 20

    the Dominican Republic.

    ECONOMY Haiti remains the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with

    o the population living in poverty. Haiti has a 41% unemployment rate and o t

    who are employed, about two-thirds cannot claim a ormal job. (CIA World Book, August 23, 2011)

    LOCAL CHURCH A local church is the utmost spiritual hope or the nation o Haiti. WWV strives to

    nurture strong Haitian pastors with resources, training and fnancial support. The pastors we work

    with are identifed through recommendations and reerences and display high degrees o integrity,

    character, and honesty who usually are already leading a congregation.

    CHRISTIAN EDUCATION An educated population is essential to a vibrant uture or the country. Making

    education readily available in a community and weaving Biblical teaching into basic math, reading,

    sciences and history oers the children and ultimately the country an opportunity to excel beyond

    the current norms.

    CLEAN WATER By introducing clean water wells and chlorine-generating systems with solar-powereddistribution systems, the problem o unsae water is alleviated. The availability o latrines and other

    simple waste disposal systems virtually eliminate the transmission o diarrheal diseases. Community

    education on sae sanitation habits, urther decreases the instances o disease.

    HEALTHCARE Partnering with local Haitian medical providers, doctors, nurses and dentists, assists

    in the rebuilding o an extremely weak health care delivery system. Regular visits rom American

    providers supplement the work o and transer skills to the Haitian providers.

    NUTRITION Serving highly nutritious rice meals or school lunches, in childrens homes and emergency

    situations, addresses malnourishment in young children. Medika Mamba is a sustainable product

    made rom Haitian grown peanuts and processed by Haitian workers. It is a lie-saving treatment orKwashiorkor (severely malnourished) suering children.

    SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE Small scale projects involving 20-50 individuals working cooperatively to

    produce vegetables and natural nutritional supplements is the beginning o sel-sustainability. When

    organized into small cooperative buying and selling units the likelihood o success is multiplied many

    times over because o the eciencies gained.

    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Since the inception o WWV the goal has been to create opportunities

    or men and women to earn a air living in order to support their amilies. We continue to support

    entrepreneurs rom the very small to the ast growing enterprises. Transer o business knowledge

    rom US businessmen to the Haitian entrepreneurs increases exponentially the potential or success.

    HOUSING CONSTRUCTION Improved construction standards are critical to the uture well-being o

    the occupants o any concrete structure. WWV works to improve construction standards using locally

    available materials and training Haitian construction workers by having them work side-by-side with

    their American counterparts.

    CommUnity spotlight: Luly

    Pastor Lahens Ceraphin and his wie have led the Eglise

    Ministere de Jesus Christ de Luly (translated Church o the

    Ministry o Jesus Christ o Luly) or 18 years. In 2002, they

    opened the Ecole Communautaire Mixte de Jesus Christ

    (briey reerred to as the Luly Community School).

    WWV has recognized great need in the community o Luly inadequate education, altering economy, poor nutrition

    thereore has become a major ocus area or WWVs resources.

    Recent health checks o children at the Luly Community School

    indicate that an alarming 30% o the students currently suer

    rom malnutrition or have stunted growth as a result o early

    childhood malnutrition. This shocking assessment caused the

    WWV team to embark on a community survey o conditions

    and traditions, gathering data on water, personal hygiene,

    sanitation, ood preparation, and ood security.

    t lu Cu sc

    Due to the cramped, unsae condition o the Luly Community

    School building as a result o the 2010 earthquake damage,

    parents were reluctant to send their children to the school.

    Many o the students at Luly Community School depen

    a new school and to provide desks and chalkboards suc

    In September 2011, a small group o women planted 120 Moringa trees in a garden plot in Luly. Moringa is oten reerred to a

    Miracle Tree throughout the tropics due to its exceptionally nutritious leaves. Leaets are dried, ground and added to daily m

    The leaves contain seven times the Vitamin C o oranges, our times the Vitamin A o carrots, our times the Calcium o milk, t

    times the potassium o bananas, three times the iron o spinach, and two times the protein o yogurt. It is a superb addition to

    narrow diet o the Luly community. Equally miraculous is its ability to grow in a drought and grow incredibly quickly, reachin

    to eight eet within three months.

    The Community Garden program ocuses on sustainability

    through education, locally-sourced materials, idea sharing,

    and community cooperation. A Haitian manager oversees

    and directs the program. Projected results, based on similarly

    sized operations, are or the operation to produce positive cash

    ow within 8 to 10 months ollowing a ull-scale launch. TheStarkey Hearing Foundation has graciously contributed unds

    to begin the Community Garden and expand it over the next

    12 months.

    Cholera reached epidemic proportions in Haiti in late 2010

    and continued throughout 2011. Clean and sae water

    is desperately needed in the Luly community. Currently

    residents must walk long distances or access to water andoten the water quality is questionable. A clean water well

    has been dug on WWV property in Luly, providing a sucient

    supply o water. Soon, a solar powered submersible pump

    with battery backup will be added to the water distribution

    system thereby supplying the electricity to power the pump.

    Expanded public health training on water borne diseases and

    personal cleanliness is planned.

    WWV introduced solar powered water puriying systems rom

    Pure Water or All (www.hayspurewateroralloundation.com)

    in Luly. The water units are easy and inexpensive alternativesor puriying water. The devices use electrolysis to create a

    solution o chloride, peroxide and ozone rom simple salt

    water. The solution is mixed into water and is extremely

    eective in killing harmul bacteria. Each unit is capable o

    treating enough water or 2500 people per day. The sc

    CommUnity spotlight: Dumont/Macabee

    In 2002, Pastor Joissaint Mesilas ounded The Ecole Autonom

    Communautaire des Freres Unis de Williamson (Autonomous Commu

    School o the United Brethren o Williamson The Williamson School)school is located approximately 50 miles rom Port au Prince. Pastor Jois

    has been married to Roselaure or 12 years and has our children M

    Montessori, age 10; Jose, age 9; John, age 7; and Samanthe, age 4.

    The Williamson School became a part o the WWV Student Sponso

    program in 2010. At that time WWV began supporting the school by oe

    administration support, paying teachers and sta, providing school lunc

    and regular medical checkups. Visiting WWV teams have conducted teacher trainings, conducted soccer camps, attended ch

    services, built school desks, distributed Bibles, dresses, and TOMS Shoes. Our generous supporters have provided unds to imp

    the school and church building with a new roo and sidewalls as well as contributing to the monthly operating costs or both

    school and church.

    WWV was introduced to the village o Dumont in 2008 at the

    request o a collaborative partner. No Time or Poverty was

    building a pediatrics clinic in Port Salut and also supporting

    Coeur School in nearby Dumont. As their clinic progressed

    the decision was made to concentrate their eorts soley on

    developing and operating the clinic, No Time or Poverty asked

    WWV to assume administrative and fnancial support o the

    elementary school.

    Dumont is a six-hour drive rom Port au Prince. Its lush, tropical

    setting is worlds away rom the bustle o the capital city. Coeur

    School, run by headmaster, Seraphin Bonne Annee, consists

    o a pair o three-classroom buildings housing 238 children.Through student sponsorships and generous donations, WWV

    has been able to increase teacher salaries and provide school

    lunches fve days each week. Student population at Coeur

    School is expected to increase signifcantly in 2011-2012.

    In the nearby village o Macabee, WWV supports an ater sc

    snack program serving the nutritional needs o betwee

    and 40 children every weekday. The Macabee area is extreunderserved and its children are chronically malnourished

    WWV visitors to the Tree o Lie Childrens Home in Bon Repos (just outside o Po

    Prince) have allen in love with the 26 children who live there. These adorable child

    have been the benefciaries o:

    Brightly painted walls

    New dining room tables and chairs

    Propane stoves to replace their charcoal cooking stoves

    A water fltration system

    New clothes and TOMS Shoes

    A thrill-flled new playground set

    Most importantly, WWV donors have provided assistance in the orm o ood, vitam

    health care, Medika Mamba treatment or malnutrition and lots o love.

    Many areas o Haiti were severely damaged during the 2010

    earthquake. Rosembert is one o them. Located just outside

    o Port au Prince, Rosembert is home to approximately 35,000

    residents. It is in a low-lying area and during the rainy season

    is plagued with large amounts o standing water which

    produce swarms o mosquitos. As a result, malaria is a great

    concern. Sadly, voodou temples are prominent in the village.The time and resources o many dedicated WWV volunteers

    have enabled considerable improvement to the community. A

    water purifcation system was deployed there. North American

    medical providers have worked alongside a Haitian doctor,

    nurses and a Haitian dentist at a Haitian owned and oper

    clinic. A deep water well has been unded, solving a despe

    need. Lots o paint has been applied. Over 245 children a

    Rosembert School run by Mislary Pierre received new T

    Shoes and dental hygiene training. And, the most impa

    contribution was the 2-bedroom house built by the Bui

    Association o the Twin Cities or Madame Jude who loshome in the earthquake and was orced to live, with her m

    generational amily, in two tents made rom tarps and

    sheets. This amily was blessed beyond words with their
