The heart of Shoulder to the Stone, Saylor White, has moved on to the next phase in his spiritual journey. We will miss him dearly, but rather than mourn his passing, we will continue to celebrate his life of giving. Those wishing to make a tribute to Saylor's life are requested to consider a donation to Shoulder to the Stone so that others can be helped in his name. Please use the link above to donate, and thank you for supporting this project that was so dear to Saylor's heart.

February 1, 2011 — We received a phone call from Roberto today. The septic system has been completed, the children can now take showers! Also, they have placed a plaque on the orphanage thanking Shoulder to the Stone for our support. Roberto confirmed that: 1) He received commitments from other sources but not all followed through like we did; 2) This is one of only a few successful building programs in Haiti funded by charitable dontions. We couldn't have done it without your generosity and support, thank you!
The orphanage and Shoulder to the Stone were featured in Roberto's home province newspaper in Italy. This >>LINK<< will take you to the original article (in Italian).
And this >>LINK<< opens a Word file of a Google translation of the article, which is close enough to readable English to get the gist of the article.
HOUSES ARE COMPLETED!! Roberto writes to tell us that the 2 houses have been completed, and the septic project is underway. See more photos and read Roberto's letter >>HERE<<
