The World Sees HOPE in Haiti

A Message from HOPE's President and CEO...

With the eyes of the world on Haiti, I have received words of encouragement from several Project HOPE friends from around the globe.

“All the world is shocked by the earthquake in Haiti,” said Dr. Jinfen Liu, President of the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center. Dr. Liu is well acquainted with earthquake relief efforts having directed his hospital’s response to the devastating Sichuan Province earthquake in 2008. From China, he continues to follow HOPE’s relief efforts in Haiti from through projecthope.org.

From a colleague in Jordan: “I am confident that HOPE is and will bring hope to thousands of victims and displaced [individuals] in Haiti.” These are the words of Hashem AlFadel, a HOPE volunteer who helped establish the partnership between HOPE and the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center in the 1990s.

Samir Abdullah Hassan, M.D., the Surgeon General of the Iraqi joint forces writes: “…everyone in the world… knows very well how great the U.S. people are. They always sacrifice for other nations…”

And from my good friend, Jaime Morales Carazo, the Vice President of Nicaragua, “This is a terrible tragedy for the poor people of Haiti. Project HOPE has much to contribute to this dramatic, lamentable situation.”

With the support of the world’s leaders, as well as ordinary people making extraordinary contributions, Project HOPE will make a difference for the people of Haiti.
