St Raphael Rural Hospital of Desvarennes
/Dear Friends
In about one month, on July 29, we will mark the one year anniversary of the death of our beloved Raphael Louigene.
Raphael is one of the founders of St Luc frontline clinics and outreach programs.
As with many of our leaders, he had a keen eye to remember the population of his home village, and include the community there in the St Luc country wide development strategies.
As the central person for St Luc outreach clinics, especially during acute crises like earthquakes, hurricanes, cholera, COVID-19 and gang violence, Raphael had nearly completed a rural hospital in his home village of Desvarennes, Jacmel when he suddenly died.
Fondation St Luc, thanks to donors of St Luke Foundations USA, built this rural hospital and completed it after Raphael's death. In his honor, it is called "St Raphael Rural Hospital" of Desvarennes.
It was inaugurated on Monday June 3rd, and currently functions thanks to funding from various St Luke donors.
We will be very grateful for donations in Raphael's honor, to guarantee the continuation and evolution of this important rural hospital.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
We are still strong in spite of many calamities, and we count on God's blessing and your help!Please see this link below.
