The Haitian Health Foundation
A CHARITABLE OUTREACH TO NEIGHBORS IN NEED
February 20, 2011
Dear Diaconate Community of the Diocese of Norwich
Thank you for your support to the Haitian Health Foundation.
I recently returned from Haiti where I had the opportunity to place plaques on some newlyconstructed "Happy Houses" and take some photographs. I am happy to enclose pictures of a family and their new "Happy House" built through your generosity. I have also enclosed a photograph of the before house.
This family was living in a "hovel" of cardboard and thatch. Your kindness and sharing has allowed us to build a clean, healthy, cement block house with a tin roof: windows, and doors. It is a "mansion" by comparison.
Thank you again for giving this family a new home, and providing them with a healthier, happier future.
With warm regards,
Jeremiah J. Lowney, Jr. DDS, MS, MPH President
