ADRA continues support in Haiti

Less than six months on Hurricane Sandy is all but forgotten, but the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Australia has not forgotten those hardest hit in Haiti. Today, ADRA announced their support for a project that will re-establish the agricultural livelihoods of more than 2,000 Haitians.

Extensive flooding, brought by Cyclone Sandy to the poorest country in the Americas last October, left up to 18,000 people homeless and destroyed hundreds of acres of farm land – most of which is owned by poor, subsistence farming families.

Children centred approach to emergency response in Fiji

In Nadi, amongst the fallen trees, dangling, broken power lines, smashed signs and destroyed homes is a little oasis of peace and tranquility. That place is Andrews Primary school atop the hill overlooking Nadi town.

I entered the school less than 24 hours after Cyclone Evan left the shores of Fiji and not a branch or leaf was out of place. Children were playing rugby on the neatly manicured lawns and the place had a distinct feeling of calm productivity.
