Haiti’s Hope of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in the Stirling neighborhood of Long Hill Township, N.J., raised more than $5,000 for the educational and nutritional needs of a small, remote village in Nanpol, Haiti, on Sept. 14 during a Walk of Hope. The event took place in Kantor Memorial Park in the Gillette neighborhood of Long Hill Township.
About 75 people participated in the Walk of Hope. Proceeds raised from registrations, donations, and sponsorships supported the construction and operation of the primary school and the operation of the school food program at St. Paul Parish in Nanpol, St. Vincent’s “sister parish.” Haiti’s Hope also organized the walk to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by the people in Haiti.
