Local Heroes: Belmont Street Baptist Church Haiti Team

As a continuation of the series entitled "Local Heroes", today we learn about the Belmont Street Baptist Church Haiti Team, where 6-members were highlighted: Pastor George Kohl, Nicole Farrington, Brenda Gordon, Chris Sales, Esther Stidham, and Glenn Williams.

The Belmont Street Baptist Church Haiti Team traveled to Haiti to work and provide food and education to the people of Maissade, Haiti.

The trip to Haiti has been humbling and encouraging to see that the people of Haiti haven't given up and have vowed to rebuild.

On March 24, 2011, the American Red Cross of Central and Western Massachusetts recognized a number of people in the community as "local heroes".  The list included:

• Dr. Michael Hirsh and Dr. Mariann Manno of UMASS Memorial Medical Center Injury Prevention Office.
• Worcester Firefighters Local 1009 Ramp Gang.
• Brenda Jenkins
• Joseph Deranamie
• The Belmont Street Baptist Church Haiti Team

Here's a short video that was put together by the American Red Cross of Central and Western Massachusetts, and filmed by Ryan Hughes.
