“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” – Job 8:7 | KJV
Such an apt Bible verse to describe the Agricultural Training Center (ATC) staff now. Through your faithful support, we now have 18 people on ATC staff, all of who started from very “humble beginnings.”
They came from broken backgrounds of extreme poverty, living in the city dump, being a voodoo witch doctor in a mountain village, having broken bones and deep wounds after the earthquake, or just being a poor Haitian. But now, after focusing on learning sustainable gardening methods and dedication to their work, they all have new skills and important jobs to produce most of the food for Love A Child Village.
Look at this beautiful, bountiful harvest. When the team delivers their nutritious harvest to the kitchens at Love A Child, they are treated as heroes, bringing many smiles, happy handshakes, and back slaps of joy, knowing that there is good food now coming for the once dusty, barren soil around the orphanage.
Your understanding of the importance of helping to provide training, education, and jobs to the people of Haiti and your faithful financial support of the Sustainability programs has brought so many people from their “humble beginnings” to their “latter end” with great increases.
You are helping Haitians help themselves; you are changing lives for generations to come.
For this, you will be blessed.
Thank you,
Rad Hazelip, Assistant Executive Director
