Jean Gardy… He was one of the children who grew up in our Love A Child Orphanage. He always made good grades in school, but he was different than our boys. He wasn’t too much into sports and always made high grades in school. He was a genius at math. When he finished high school...
Hello everyone, how are you? “I’d like to make myself laugh, but I don’t have the courage,” she said this morning. "If I took the time to tell you what happened to me during my pregnancies, you would not believe me." Indeed, Joane Bolier is the fourth daughter in her family. She is from the...
“It’s What You Leave Behind.” Someone said, “When we leave this world, it’s not what we take with us that counts… it’s what we leave behind.” Some people never think about others, how they can help the poor, or forgive someone who has wronged them.

Years ago, when Stanley (Kinam) was about nine years old, he was in an orphanage in the area of North Haiti. His aunt contacted us, begging us to come get him and bring him to our Love A Child Orphanage. She was in tears as she pleaded with me. She told me that the orphanage...

“And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” Matthew 5:41 In the days of Jesus, the Jewish people were made to carry the heavy load of a Roman soldier if asked, “one mile,” but only one mile. Jesus said, “If someone compels you to carry a load or to go...
He was one of our original orphanage children. He was always quiet and always made good grades. Later, when he finished high school here in Haiti, he and his older brothers started a small restaurant business. The business grew… The restaurant, called Fresh Food, is doing very well.
