Joy and Hope of Haiti

Welcome to the Joy and Hope of Haiti Website

Community Connections

There a number of connections and cross-connections with others involved in Haiti efforts:

Birthing Kits

The Joy and Hope of Haiti Birthing Kit committee efforts are connected with:

People involved in Grace Children's Hospital, Port au Prince, Haiti (International Child Care, Mississauga, Ontario)

Dr. Henry Muggah and Dr. Bob Hutchison (McMaster University Medical Centre)

Dr. Alex Dauphne (St. Joseph's Hospital)

Birthing Kits require assembly and many "birthing kit parties" much like Tupperware parties have been organized by community groups, school groups, church groups in various venues.

Last year alone 50,000 birthing kits were assembled and sent to hospitals and medical clinics in the north of Haiti.

Containers to Haiti

The Joy and Hope of Haiti sends 40' x 8' x 8' containers regularly filled with new construction equipment and supplies and donated medical supplies and equipment, school supplies and other items needed in Haiti. Many community connections have been made as a result of the container efforts. See the wish list posted on this website. Our goal is to try and send one container per year.

Healthy Smiles for Haiti

Georgina Cosentino (who lives on Hamilton mountain) is a dental hygienist who travels to Haiti twice a year promoting good dental health with children at schools and orphanages, both in northern and southern Haiti. Because of her dedication, much needed dental equipment and supplies are also shipped to Haiti in the containers.

High School Student Volunteers

There are opportunities for high school students to complete their 40 volunteer hours either helping at fundraisers or going to Haiti.

The willingness to get involved and help those who are much less fortunate than us is the vital ingredient to the success of the Joy and Hope of Haiti volunteer group. We are helping to make a difference, one life at a time - their children, our challenge and our joy.
