On Thursday September 17th, 2008 the team of The Gospel For Every One, with Alba Iris Ramirez De Ogando in charge went to pay a visit to “Cayen” where a Little town named Lucas Dias is located at the border of the river of Nizao; with 200 families living in extreme poverty. The team visited house by house to select 75 of the most needed families in that little town. After selecting them Sister Alba Ramirez De Ogando handed over the tickets to the selected families.
On Sunday september 21st, 2008 at 9 am the team of The Gospel For Every One arrived to the Little town of Lucas Dias to hand over the help. Members on the team:
- Yeral Ogando “president of the ministry”
- Paste Jozye Leger “Haitian pastor”
- Alba Iris Ramírez de Ogando “Events Coordinator”
- Lazard Medilien “Link Dominican-Haitian”
The activity was sponsored by The Gospel For Every One, Dominican Reformed Church “IRD” & Reformed Church In America “RCA”.
The process was very neat and organized due to the good coordination work performed by the Events coordinator “Alba Iris Ramírez De Ogando” during that week. The community was very happy ad grateful for the help. As they were already explained that the assistance was going to be for the families with tickets, eventhough we had more families that the ones with tickets. We were able to hand over assistance for 77 families, 75 with tickets and 2 without it.
We also gave clothes such as “shirts, t-shirts & pants”.
The community of “Cayen, Lucas Dias”. expressed its gratitude for all of you who made possible the help that they received.
We thank from the bottom of our hearts to “Bruce Menning, Luis Perez, Jon Norton, Andres Serrano, and Brigido Cabrera "RCA TEAM".
Special thanks to Brother David G Dethmers Coordinator, Reformed Church World Service and all of the brothers and sisters who collaborate to help the damages made by Hannah, Gustav & Ike from Reformed Church World Service Team"RCA".
