WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The African-American Baptist Mission Collaboration (AABMC) presented Habitat for Humanity International with a second grant of $500,000 in December to support the homebuilding ministry's recovery program in Haiti. The donation follows a previous gift given to the organization in June, bringing the AABMC's total contribution to Habitat to $1 million. The pledge was made and completed in one year.

2010 Annual Session Update on Haiti Relief Efforts

President Julius R. Scruggs reported during the 130th Annual Session that the Convention has received approximately 1.1 MM in donations for the Haiti Relief effort. The Convention has entered into an association with the African American Baptist Missionary Collaboration (AABMC - see below) to build approximately 1.000 family shelters in the Cabaret region of Haiti. The AABMC will continue to work together for a period of one year and will re-evaluate their progress at that time. A life-size sample of the family shelters to be built was on display in the exhibit hall during the Annual Session.
