To The General Secretary,
Caribbean Conference of Churches
Dear Colleague and Friend,
We have learned with shock and sadness what has happened to the inhabitants of Port-au-Prince, Haiti where many lives were lost consequent to a natural disaster.
As if the everyday suffering of the people of Haiti was not enough, this disaster came to aggravate the situation and brought sorrow to our brothers and sisters in the country.
The All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC), adds its voice to all those who expressed their sympathy to the people of Haiti and we want to ask you to convey our solidarity and prayers to the Churches in the Caribbean and in particular in Haiti.
As you know, Haiti has 8,265,000 people from the African origin and this makes it understandable that the suffering of people in this beloved country is deeply felt in the heart of all Africans. We take this opportunity to ask all members churches of the AACC, to whom we send a copy of this message, to organize a special moment to remember the victims of this disaster and to pray for the people of Haiti.
May God console those in pain and give strength to the survivors of this tragedy to continue to hope and to trust in our God who is always ready to engage us for a new beginning towards hope and dignity.
Yours in His Service,
Rev. Dr. Andre Karamaga,
General Secretary
