Family Health Ministries' annual event at Duke Gardens was once again flooded with friends and torrents of rain.  In spite of the downpour, 260 people enjoyed live music by the EG Peters Band, "small plates" provided by Durham Catering, and auctions that netted over $19K. 

The entire event is on target to raise over $50K to help build the Leogane Family Health Center.  FHM is particularly grateful to all the businesses that contributed items and services, and to the 26 sponsors who made the evening possible.

Family Health Ministries thanks our many wonderful sponsors for Saturday's An Evening for Haiti:  Building the Leogane Family Health Center.  It's not too late to purchase tickets.  Buy them online or at the door.  $50 for adults, $30 for students.

Huge progress has been made in the last week at the Nancy Ferree-Clark Guesthouse in Leogane.

The roof is on.  The doors are hung.  Electric and plumbing have been installed.

The guesthouse is the first phase of the Leogane Family Health Center, an $11 million health complex designed to save lives of women and children in Haiti.

FHM is raising funds to build phase 2 of the facility, a multipurpose surgical wing, at their annual fundraiser, An Evening for Haiti, on May 5th from 6 - 9 pm at the Doris Duke Center, Duke Gardens, on the Duke University campus.  Details and tickets are available online.
