Global OutreachHaiti Relief Information: Beleza is still serving as a drop off for relief items for Haiti. We are working in conjunction with MERCI located in Goldsboro, NC. You can check their website for information about what to donate.
Before the recent earthquake, Philip had organized a medical team to go to Haiti on March 20. The team is stil going and appears now to have even more doctors and nurses interested in helping. This trip was being funded by the individual doctors and nurses going to provide the care. Now the needs are much greater. If you would like to help this team purchase medical supplies and anything else needed, you can send checks made out to Together We Can, Inc., 2014 Cameron Street, Raleigh, NC 27605.
Together We Can, Inc.
Working in devloping countries and in the local community requires resources and volunteers. After years of serving in numbers of projects to partner with people in different countries and in the local communities, Philip and Sara joined with a couple they met to form a 501(c) 3 nonprofit. This couple, Nancy and Randy Wiersma, are dedicated to service as well.
Knowing that the last thing needed was another large organization aimed to be a major fund raising entity, they formed this nonprofit to connect existing resources to communities where these resources could be used most efficiently. The goal of Together We Can, Inc (TWC) is not to become a large organization with paid staff but to work strictly as volunteers using all possible resources to serve the intended communities. TWC is in its early stages of development now and the immediate needs in Haiti will be its first major project. The organization will remain largely a local organization based in Raleigh to facilitate more prompt reponses and decisions needed to serve where we are needed.
