Earthquake Devastates St. Joseph Home in Port au Prince

Broken Wings is the Canadian fundraising organization whose primary mission is to support the vision and ministry of the St. Joseph Family in Haiti, which includes the St. Joseph’s Home for Boys in Port-au Prince, Wings of Hope in Fermathe, and Trinity House in Jacmel.

Orphans caring for orphans: a beautiful story

St. Joseph’s Home for Boys was Michael Geilenfeld’s dream that became a reality in 1985, bringing boys off the streets of Port-au-Prince to provide them with a Christian home and family.

When French missionaries announced they were leaving Haiti and needed to find care for the disabled children under their supervision, Michael took some of the older boys from St. Joseph's to choose a child to bring home and care for. But the boys surprised Michael when they chose to adopt all the children. Wings of Hope had become a thriving home for disabled children, recently rebuilt and expanded to include a day school for disabled community children and lovely guest facilities.

For more on the St. Joseph's family of homes for children, visit the Broken Wings website.

annointment handcrafted soaps

At Anointment Natural Skincare, we’ve always felt that what goes on your body is as important as what goes in it. For that reason, there are a lot of things you WON’T find in our products. We make our soaps and body care products in small batches, by hand, the old fashioned way. This way, we can ensure product quality and attention to detail. 

Working with professionals in many disciplines, including naturopaths and aromatherapists, Anointment continues to develop products that set a very high standard for promoting your body’s natural ability to heal. We use only the purest ingredients in our products, with no synthetic fragrances, colours, petroleum products, preservatives, or artificial anything. We do not test on animals, and use certified organic ingredients wherever possible, choosing next unsprayed wildcrafted ingredients. This set of handcrafted soaps includes the scents shown, from Om Shanti (cinnamon and patchouli with coffee and cocoa) and Scrub (eucalyptus, lemongrass and lemon) to Smudge (sage, lavender, contains organic sage leaf) and Lemon Poppyseed (lemon, lemongrass, contains organic poppy seed).

All proceeds from items sold on the To Haiti with Love auction go directly to the St. Joseph's Family in Haiti. To make a bid, simply leave a comment with the amount of your bid and your email address. The auction will wrap up on February 8, 2010, and winners will be contacted right away to arrange payment and shipping. Good luck!
