Building HOPE: The Kokosing Group

It is not over reaching at all to say that the January 12th earthquake affected every person in Haiti. Lives were lost, homes destroyed, families torn apart. Some businesses have reopened but schools remain closed. The HOPE Center was extensively damaged and unsafe to inhabit. As word of our situation spread, God used relationships and circumstances to pour out blessings on the girls. They are safe and whole. They are being securely housed on CSI Health Center property. Their physical needs are being met. School has resumed. The church is growing. And they have all, in their own timing, been back to visit their old home. Healing has begun.

And now we move forward with the construction of a new facility that will meet the evolving needs of the girls. The Kokosing Group based in Fredericktown, Ohio has undertaken this project. Not only are they offering engineering expertise, construction supervision, construction workers who will work with Haitian laborers training them in construction techniques, but they are assisting with fund raising and materials procurement and delivery, AND they are offering a dollar for dollar matching grant for funds raised, up to $250,000!!!
