We are all well aware of the terrible devastation inflicted upon Haiti by the severe earthquake in mid- January. It is still a very sad situation… and it will take many years for these poor, but very proud people, to fully recover.
In order to help ensure a reasonable quality of life for these people, and especially the future of the Haitian children, most of whom cannot read or write, The Good Samaritan Foundation of Haiti have been working with the Rotary Club of Tortola to provide many of the basics, and are in the process of building a new school there. This school will cost a total of about $140,000. We are still in need of further funding.
Michael Beans, originally from Michigan, is a local musician in The BVI. He is the driving force behind the 11 year old Foundation, and puts it very succinctly in his YouTube video… “You cannot teach an empty belly”. (See www.youtube.com/user/HaitiSchoolApeal)
In June of this year, Michael, along with TGSFH director, Pamela Solman and Tortola Rotarian, Stephen Cooper, made another of their trips to Haiti. The main purpose of their trip was to break ground for a new school to provide education for more of the children. But they also took the first steps to initiate micro loans that will enable locals to start new businesses. They even introduced tooth brushing to the school children.

To All of Our Good Friends
Hi!
David & Ida here... from the beautiful Virgin Islands!
Hope everyone there is happy and healthy.
Believe it or not, we are in our 11th season of chartering, and we've gotten to know many of the boats and thier crews very well. So we are well positioned to begin our new charter yacht brokerage business, Davida Yacht Charters.
Don't worry though... we are still here for you should you wish to come sailing with us again. However, if you would like a larger yacht or maybe a catamaran, we can make sure you get the yacht that fits you to a 'T'.
Best regards,
David & Ida
