H4H - Hiwassee’s Haiti connection
In May of 2009, Hiwassee College Chaplain Rev. Eric Doolittle and a team of Hiwassee College students made a mission trip to Isle de La Gonave, a section of Haiti located off the coast of Port-au-Prince.
The one-week experience was not just an outreach from Hiwassee, but a homecoming for Gregory Celeste (Hiwassee College class of 2009), whose father and mother come from Bwa Brule, a farming community in the mountainous interior of the island.
During the recent tragedy in Haiti, Gregory reported the loss of five family members. Our prayers are with Gregory and all those in Haiti in need of spiritual and physical comfort.
In response to the overwhelming need, the Hiwassee College CSM (Christian Student Movement) has launched operation H4H - Hiwassee for Haiti - a campaign to raise funds to help meet the need in Haiti.
Money will be collected during chapel services on campus and at athletic and other campus events. The funds will be passed on to UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee On Relief.
