Lomene… From a restavek slave child to a professional cook! Just look at little Lomene! This little thing is studying to be a professional cook! She is in her second year of college and “loves” making special dishes! When we first saw “Lomene,” she was wearing a ragged dress, cooking for two large families, and...
This morning at 6 AM we went down to Pastor Claude's orphanage, which is 10 minutes from us. This little boy Jon Jon was milking his cow! We had a hilarious time this morning! The boys milked four cows this morning and afterward had a big breakfast. I will be sharing some more pictures later...
In third world countries, such as Haiti, they have a nickname for children who make it to their 5th birthday.

This is one of our older boys, Samuel Orel. He was born in the mountains of Greffin, Haiti! His mother died giving birth to Samuel and his father could not keep him. (It is hard to find another mother to nurse a baby because most mothers are already nursing their own baby.) When he was...
Today, our driver Philemond is with Jackson and three of our Haitian nurses, who must be recertified to continue to do dialysis on Jackson each night! Without this legal certification, they would not be allowed to continue his dialysis at night. (They are on a rotating schedule, 7:00 pm to 7:00 am.) They also discovered...
