Jesse Ostrander's team ended the week with a bonfire at the Love A Child Orphanage!! They had been involved in our Feeding Programs and projects with poor Haitian children. But when they invited Love A Child kids to the bonfire, it went overboard!!! Ha! A lot of happy kids, dancing, singing, playing and eating "marshmallows...
"A Single Candle..." When we first moved to Haiti in 1991, the embargo was on. For three years, we had very, very little electricity. We only had it working five percent of the time.

We have been reaching out to the poor people who live in the Truttier Waste Disposal Dump for about a year now, but we recently started visiting another area of the dump called Rapatrier.

This morning Wilner and the staff harvested many delicious foods from our gardens. Look at these two big sacks of...
Feeding hungry children will always be our first and most important outreach. While we do this every day, our hearts are still open and eager to help provide jobs for hundreds of poor Haitians, through our Sustainability Projects and our Agricultural Training Program.
