Here are pictures of some of our orphan children on the first day of school here at Love A Child. Many children in the neighborhood also attend our school.

The first day of school in the life of a Haitian child is the most important day of their life! They “get to go to school!” In Haiti, you must have a uniform and black shoes to go to school, and many poor children cannot afford this. Also, the boys have to have their hair “cut short!” Since there are no barbers here, someone will use a “Gillette” (razor) to cut their hair! (Note: Haitians use the “brand name of things” to call them what they are, i.e. Gillette.)

The gangs are taking over many parts of Haiti. The school children of Haiti are the future of their country, not the gangs! Thank you to our partners who have helped us build several Christian schools.
