Help for Haiti
Dear Friends & Families of South Church –
There is desperate need in Haiti and we are in the incredibly fortunate position of having an aid organization right in our back yard that can provide rapid response. The Afya Foundation, founded by Hastings mom, Danielle Butin, several years ago and located in Yonkers has a warehouse full of donated medical supplies. Despite the reports on TV that it's difficult to get aid into the country –right now, Afya is doing just that. Emergency supplies are being airlifted to the Dominican Republic and then loaded on ships for transport to Haiti.
What Afya needs most right now are financial contributions. You can donate online at Afya's Haiti Donation Page (http://www.afyafoundation.org/haitiearthquake.html). If you can't donate money, the items they need most are: blankets and closed-toed shoes and boots in all sizes. Bring these items to one of the following addresses:
Items donated will be delivered to Afya's Yonkers location. then shipped to the people of Haiti.

Attention All Photographers!
We are in the midst of a website redesign, and are on the lookout for any and all photos of this beautiful place: interior, exterior, and of course, the people who make South what it is. If you have old photos in an album-wonderful. If you are inspired to take some pictures - fantastic.
Electronic files in any format are welcome - please email to Karen Engelmann. If you have a large number of digital photos, I will get you a thumb drive and pick it up (email for info).
Prints are great, too! Put your prints in an envelope with your name and place the envelope in my mailbox in the office. I will scan and return them.
Please help make the website reflect the beauty and wonder of this place. Thanks!
