Frances Maschal Landers, founder, Haiti Education Foundation - www.haitifoundation.orgFull Obituary Statement Frances Maschal Landers, founder of the Haiti Education Foundation, died on Tuesday, September 14, 2010, in Eldorado, Arkansas, at her home. She was 93 years old. The following tribute was shared by Susan Turbeville, with the Haiti Education Fund: "Frances Landers was an inspiration to everyone. Whether through personal encounter or her written communications, she engaged and encouraged us all to be part of something greater than ourselves. She loved her family, her friends and offering HOPE to God’s children in Haiti. Frances’ work now lives on in the hearts and hands of those she inspired. She once wrote of the work in Haiti, “In a nation as devastated as Haiti, it is difficult to decide where to begin to offer help. But EDUCATION is the one gift that multiplies in the sharing and can never be used up. 
When we first attended church in Haiti, there were no Bibles, no songbooks;
almost no one could read. Now the children have taken their
Bibles home and taught their parents and siblings to read. The Haiti
Education Foundation changes the life of every child who participates.
With your help in keeping these schools open, the History of Haiti is being
changed.”Frances has handed off her mission…it is now in each of our hands as we continue her legacy of bringing HOPE through EDUCATION to God’s children in Haiti. There are many within Shenandoah Presbytery who knew Frances, and who have called her friend for many years." |
