Fr. Matthew Alcombright from Mary Mother of Hope Parish will be traveling to Haiti and would like us to participate in the Seed Project. We will be collecting seeds here at school between now and February 17th. Fr. Matt will be traveling to Haiti during February school vacation week. If you are able to donate some seeds, it would be most appreciated!

The Seed Project for Haiti will allow the children of St. Michael's Academy to support and give life to those most in need.  In the villages where the Haiti Plunge, Inc. works the average child will eat approximately one banana or other piece of fruit per day.  Haiti Plunge has begun a "Raised Garden Bed" project which allows women in the various communities to have a home side garden bed to supplement the farms the men work on throughout the day.  Most of the harvest is sold for income to allow a child the gift of education, not necessarily for food for the family.  The seeds will be distributed to women in order to plant and harvest their gardens and ultimately feed their families. This is a simple, inexpensive and profound way to help those who are most in need.
