ELLINWOOD — Since Hurricane Matthew made a direct hit on the island of Haiti Oct. 4, Ellinwood based Star of Hope, a non-profit international aid organization, has sent over $280,000 worth of relief, completing nine interventions in devastated communities in that country. Volunteers Tony and Larry Boursiquot have been sending back communications to CEO Mark Presson as they make progress throughout the island to communities touched by seven schools operated through Star of Hope ministries. Excerpts from these communications have been provided to the Great Bend Tribune.
