To The Lego Community,
Our church is raising funds to build a duplex home in Haiti during this
Christmas season and we wish to build a Lego model as a representation of our
fund-raising efforts. The idea is to construct the Haitian duplex using Lego
blocks in place of our traditional manger and as an indicator of the amount of
money raised and how much more need to be raised. I am looking for someone who
might be able to loan us the bricks in order to build our model (listed below).
For the past three years, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Hope Valley, Rhode
Island has worked with Food For The Poor to help the people in Haiti. During
this time, our church raised over $150,000 to build a village of 15 duplexes
with latrines, a community center and a community well. In addition, we later
raised over $20,000 for an agricultural project allowing the village to be self
supporting. And after the devastating earthquake we again raised $16,364 to help
Catholic Relief Services and their efforts in Haiti. Both the village and
agricultural project are locating near Cape Haitien in the North of Haiti and
were unaffected by the earthquake in Port-Au-Prince.
This Christmas effort to build a home for another two families is a continuation
of our efforts. The central focus of our Christmas decorations is our manger, a
home for two tired travelers and the baby Jesus. We found it fitting to replace
our traditional manger with one constructed of Legos as we together make the
effort to symbolically build a home in our church for the Holy Family and
physically build a home for two families in Haiti.
I’ve rendered one half of the duplex home as shown below. My Lego Haitian home
is modeled after the actual home built in Haiti, also shown here.
We would be extremely thankful to those whom could assist us in our efforts and
allow us to borrow the Legos to build this model. I can provide more information
if requested. If you are able to help us please contact me by either posting
here or via email as noted below. Thanks again and God Bless.
