Today, our Haitian team is in Cotin, a village full of mud huts, dirt roads and very poor families. They are doing all the dossiers (paperwork) for the patients who will be coming to our mobile clinic there. The roads are really bad due to all the recent rain. The medical team will spend the...

This is little two-year-old Kervenson. His father and his father’s “wife” brought him to our clinic today. He was barely breathing, dehydrated and severely malnourished.

In the morning at 4:00, Sherry, Chris Baker, and Philemon will be leaving for a trip up a very high and dangerous mountain with just dirt trails to deliver food to some very poor people. I've tried to talk Sherry out of going and to wait for me to return next week, but she won't...
Some of you who have visited us here at Love A Child know Edeline, one of our oldest girls here at the orphanage. Well, we have some great news, she is getting married in December!
