- Complete our school buildings at all three locations
- Each school location providing a hot meal each day to each child
- Providing clothing and school books
- Provide education
- Providing an easier avenue for each child to receive medical aid and other disaster response
- Complete our kitchens at all three locations

- How much money does Mission E4 need to raise to provide this disaster response?
- By February 1st - $100,000
- March – December, 2010 - $200,000 monthly
- January – December, 2011 - $100,000 monthly
- January – December, 2012 - $50,000 monthly
- January – December 2013 - $25,000 monthly
- Why support Mission E4 with our efforts?
- Our belief is that the best way to distribute aid is through the missionary organizations that are already on the ground in Haiti.
- Simply – it will be more difficult for those that do not speak the language, that do not have the resources of relationships, and that do not understand the culture to move things along well at a “grass roots” level, employing the local people and stimulating the local economy.
- We are about “rebuilding communities not rebuilding buildings”
