The Friends of St. Vincent’s Center mission statement is to provide service, supplies and support to the children and staff at St. Vincent’s Center, a residential school, day school, orphanage and hospital for approximately 350 handicapped children in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
2005 has been a very difficult year for our colleagues and the children at St. Vincent’s Center due to the political situation and civil unrest. The Friends of St. Vincent’s Center continued their support in many different ways as it was not possible to conduct medical, construction and education missions in Haiti.
