2012 Lenten Project

Nickels for Nurses
Bringing Health Care to La Resurrection School in Haiti

Nickels The Diocese of Maryland invites you to open the door to better health for school children in Haiti by supporting the Haiti school nurse project. The 2012 Diocese of Maryland's Children's Lenten Project provides the opportunity to learn about and support this project during five weeks in Lent.

Two of the major challenges in Haiti are poor health conditions and lack of educational resources. Located in the rural mountainous northern part of Haiti, these challenges are even more extreme.

This year's program is "Nickels for Nurses" and it helps provide a nurse for La Resurrection Parish School in Gros Morne, Haiti. Working in partnership with La Resurrection Episcopal Parish in Gros Morne, the Haiti school nurse project seeks to address both issues. It will provide a nurse for the parish school and its 829 students from grades K-12. For $20 (or 400 nickels), the project will support the salary of the nurse for a week.
