A “story time quilt” was completed by students and friends of CrossWalk Church for Rescue Children Orphanage in Haiti. The project began back in May when students in CrossWalk Kids each designed a square which included their name and drawings of things each child considered important to them. During this time the class learned about the country of Haiti, and was particularly impressed by the poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and AIDS with which this island nation contends. Wishing to do a small part to help, the class connected with Rescue Children Orphanage, and the quilt project was born.Rescue Children was founded in 2003 by Mrs. Lynda Morrison of Spartanburg, South Carolina. There are 15 orphans in residence at the facility outside Port-au-Prince at the present time. The mission of the orphanage is to provide destitute children with food, safe drinking water, shelter, and clothing as well as education and vocational skills. Sharing Jesus’ love for them is the foundation of the ministry. Mrs. Morrison plans to use the quilt as a place for orphans to sit for their nightly Bible story time.
