Charity in dire need of storage space

Helping children in Haiti: youngsters sheltered at the Feed My Lambs orphanage show their appreciation (Photograph supplied)

Feed My Lambs Ministry is “desperately” seeking a new storage location to continue its mission in Haiti and Bermuda.

The registered charity is hoping a Good Samaritan will donate a space where the organisation can store items until they are sent away.

But Feed My Lamb’s Linda Adderley said it would also help people in Bermuda who are struggling.

She said: “It’s not just for Haiti. If we can’t get the items to Haiti, we can give them to people here. We want to help Bermuda as much as Haiti.”

Ms Adderley said the organisation had worked with Teen Haven and the Coalition for the Protection of Children and she added that “there is a need here”.

She said: “The purpose of this location is to help Bermuda and also help our Haitians. We want to give people a hand up, not a hand out.”

Ms Adderley explained that the charity had stored items such as medical supplies and clothes in a room that was donated by a supporter.

Whenever volunteers travelled to Haiti they would take suitcases full of items.

But Ms Adderley added: “She is selling the building, so we need a location. We are desperate.”

Feed My Lambs Ministry runs an orphanage for 62 children and a school for 700 in Montrouis, Haiti.

Over the years, a medical clinic and a dental clinic have been added to the compound, along with a solar water-purification system, school kitchen and farm area.

They also run a feeding programme for all the children and operate an outreach programme to provide people in remote areas with medical and dental services and food.

But Ms Adderley said it is the charity’s mission to help wherever it can.
