Louisville, KY, August 4, 2010 -- LEEP, Inc. (OTCPK:LPPI) announced that it has received a purchase order from Star of Hope International, America, Inc. to supply its LeepCore structural, insulated panels for the construction of transition housing with a capacity for twenty-four orphaned girls, plus administration. Transition housing is an interim step for older girls in the orphanage, which is designed to prepare them for entering society away from the orphanage. Star of Hope International, America, Inc. is affiliated with the Haiti Love and Faith Ministries charity, and LEEP, Inc. has been unanimously selected by the Board of Directors for Haiti Love & Faith Ministries as their vendor partner in rebuilding damaged or destroyed structures at their orphanage in Haiti. Plans include three to four transition homes, and rebuilding the orphanage itself. The orphanage is located near the epicenter of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti in January, and sustained severe damage.
A spokesperson for the Haiti Love and Faith Ministries said, “We chose the LEEP, Inc. panels to rebuild our facilities as well as new additional structures for many reasons, including the safety provided by the hurricane and seismic resistance of their product, the energy efficiency, and the resistance of LeepCore structures to mold, termites, rodents, and fire. We are excited to rebuild with a product that will safeguard our children and facilities from a repeat of the recent disaster. We are also impressed with the genuine humanitarian view of the people at LEEP, Inc.”
A spokesperson from LEEP Inc. commented on their involvement with the people of the two charities: "We are extremely pleased to be part of the efforts of these organizations to build desperately needed homes for these girls. This is a step toward a great new life for many children, for many years. The needs of Haiti are substantial and varied, and the effort to rebuild homes, shelters, and necessary commercial, governmental, and organizational infrastructure is just beginning. The attributes of LeepCore make it an ideal product choice for Haiti construction, and LEEP Inc. is establishing multiple alliances to participate in this effort.”
