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.

as seen on dooce: sunshine neckwarmer cowl by pip robins

Hailing from Nova Scotia, Pip Robins creates sustainable accessories ranging from handbags to cowls. Best known for being featured on Dooce's Holiday for Her: Accessories and Clothing gift list, Pip Robins' streamlined scarves have become one of this season's most fashionable buys. 

Love keeping your neck warm but hate the scarf-bulk? Picture your scarf getting caught in a revolving door? How humiliating! Or maybe you just don't know what the heck to do with all that extra length, a fancy bow, a double knot, stuffed in your jacket and caught in your zipper. A cowl is your answer!

This thick outer fabric is a beautiful sunny yellow with a beige, ivory and yellow lightly textured pattern. There's a small amount of sheen, making this cowl a bit dressy. Lined with silkscreened gold on white cotton. Pattern placement will vary slightly. Slip it over your head and you've got a no fuss scarf! Fits large heads, and dimensions laying flat are 13" x 6" (wxh).

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!
