(This is an update from Star of Hope International in regard to the Carrefour orphanages.)
UPDATE!! On Thursday, we learned that the guest home next to the Girl's home has collapsed and that half of the church on the compound has collapsed as well. The church was emergency shelter for many in the neighborhood. The boys home building has suffered structural failure and is now beginning to collapse.

(letter from Pastor Joel Jeune's wife Doris Jeune - referencing Carrefour orphanage)
"The lates news is that all the boys are fine, but the Boys Home is crack and kind of leaning and the boys are all sleeping out side on the ground, many houses oround are gone and many people died, what is sade the road to carrefour are in bad shape make it very difficult for help to come. We still not able to communicate direcly to the children, Please keep us in prayer."

(letter from Regina Minnucci)
I was just watching CNN, they were interviewing a man who runs an orphanage in Jacmel. He told them the road from Port au Prince to Jacmel has crumbled and it is impassable.
Thought you would want to know.
