The needs remain plenty in Haiti where Bermudian Phillip Rego is building up a community in the northwestern part of the country.A group of ten volunteers from Bermuda recently returned from Haiti where they helped Mr Rego’s charity Feed My Lambs Ministry with its work building a school and orphanage in Montrouis, about an hour’s drive from the capital Port au Prince.Mr Rego returned to Haiti on Wednesday to continue the work in the country he feels he was called to serve in October 2008 after it was devastated by four hurricanes in less than three months.Funds are needed to complete the school and the orphanage as well as install a water purification system, at a cost of about $25,000, to enable those in the community to drink clean water.“No one in the community can afford the purified water,” said Mr Rego, speaking from Colorado prior to another trip to Haiti. “Water is a health issue, my children have got problems with diarrhoea and it’s all got to do with the water.“If we can combat that, it would mean less people going to the hospital.“A lot of children are dehydrated because they are afraid to drink the water that will make them sick. In Haiti everything changes and it is crazy trying to keep everything on budget.”Mr Rego accepts that the charitable work he does in Haiti would not be possible without the generosity of many Bermudians.“You, the people of Bermuda, have made this mission possible and successful beyond what I could have ever imagined,” he stated. “The children and community of Haiti send their thanks. Because of you many have a home, a school and a healing centre.”On May 11, Feed My Lambs Ministry will hold an Island-wide tag day and denim day in Bermuda to raise funds for the second storey of the school building which will accommodate grades ten to 12 and supplies for more than 400 children.Funds are also needed to build a clinic in the school building.“Someone already sponsored grades one to nine and they are going down to see what has been accomplished with the money they have given,” said Mr Rego’s sister Linda Adderley, who was part of the team that recently travelled to Haiti.“The money that is being raised right now will be for grades ten to 12 and to raise money for desks for the children.“We also need money for the water purification which will be able to supply the orphanage, the school and the community.“That is huge because the water that is there we can’t drink.”As part of an educational trip and to aid in the charitable cause The Spirit of Bermuda is planning a service mission to Haiti for about 30 young adults and chaperones in July to assist in the construction and community development.“These are teenagers and they will have a life-changing experience by helping the orphanage, helping the children and helping to build and possibly plant food,” said Ms Adderley.Prior to returning to Haiti last week Mr Rego faced another dilemma ... raising funds for a 16-seater vehicle to replace the car and truck that just recently broken down and are now out of commission.He would also love to have more people accompany him to Haiti to assist with his charity work.“We need electricians, plumbers and carpenters because we are building our own beds and desks for the school because they are not something you can go out and purchase,” said Ms Adderley.The school will house more than 400 students. and the recent group took medical and clothing for the children.“American Airlines allowed us to take five bags each and they had medical supplies, clothes, toys, backpacks,” she revealed. “Bermuda gave from the heart, things people were proud to give to their own children. Each child got a bag for their own personal use.“Things are extremely expensive in Haiti and money doesn’t last long. There is a great need, I didn’t know how you can have next to nothing.“We are so blessed here in Bermuda but at the same time Bermuda has a heart of giving and Phil and I want to thank them. Each person who is giving their time, money or prayers is making a difference.”The charity wants to have the school completed by the end of July and ready to receive students for the start of the school year in September.“We have 18 teachers for grades one through nine and we will need more for grades ten to 12,” said Ms Adderley.Since the devastating earthquake two years ago, the country is slowing rebuilding, she said, but so much more needs to be done.“The road are paved nicely now, it doesn’t take you four-and-a-half hours to get to Montrouis from the airport. Now we can get there in an hour-and-a-half.“The Haitian people are very resilient, they know how to get back on their feet and are grateful for everything that they have and what’s given to them.”Anyone interested in donating to the Feed My Lambs Ministry can do so through their Bermuda dollar HSBC account, number 010876795001.www.feedmylambsministry.orgphilrego58@gmail.com
