Thank you from CAFOD for your generous donations to help people after the earthquake in Haiti. We were overwhelmed when our supporters in England and Wales raised more than £4.7 million for CAFOD’s appeal. Now, more than three months later, our partners have provided 1.5 million people with emergency food, 100,000 people with tents or tarpaulin, 2,000 children living in camps with trauma counselling and 350,000 people with healthcare. Haiti is a place in need, but it is not a desperate place. People are living and working together as best they can. We will stand alongside the people of Haiti for years to come, helping them to rebuild their lives. Your support really does make the world of difference. Please continue to keep the people of Haiti in your prayers.
Bread of life
Merciful God,
hear the cries of
your people.
Hungry for bread
and starved of
justice;
craving
sustenance,
they dream of
fullness and days of plenty.
Jesus, bread of
life,
fill all who
hunger with the taste
of freedom from
oppression
and the succulent
aroma of hope.
Help us as we
strive for justice and
try to balance
the scales so long tipped in our favour.
