Locals Raise Funds for Britney Gengel's Orphanage Initiative

HOW DID A MASSACHUSETTS BUILDER CREATE AN EARTHQUAKE-PROOF ORPHANAGE IN HAITI?

After the tragic loss of 19-year-old Britney Gengel to a devastating earthquake in Haiti while serving as an Aide with Feed the Poor, parents, Len & Cherylann Gengel of Rutland, MA, kept their daughters dream alive and returned to Haiti in 2011 to build an Orphanage. BeLikeBrit is a US registered, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which operates a 19,000 square foot orphanage in Grand Goave, Haiti. Join the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Massachusetts as they invite the community to help carry on the dream of Britney Gengel.
