Officially hurricane season started June 1st. Down here in Haiti and the Caribbean area, during the months of August and September, things really heat up. It really doesn’t take a hurricane to hit; just the rains cause flash floods destroying many family homes (huts). We just gave out all of[…]
Children in Haiti do what it takes to survive. They often work alongside their parents, helping their family in any way they can, while trying to ignore the pains of hunger. Parents must watch on in agony, unable to improve the situation they are living through. Love A Child travels[…]
THE EVIL TWINS: Criticism and jealousy are twins. When you see one, you always see the other. Moses and Aaron were constantly criticized by the Israelites they were leading out of Egypt.
