This little sweetie is growing up fast! Ginyia is now 9 years old and going into 4th grade! (I thought she was ten, but the room mother told me she was nine.) Her chores are "babysitting little Zoey and Zachary," cleaning her room, and anything else the moms ask her to do. Her favorite things...
The Agricultural Training Center guys were harvesting leafy beautiful vegetables this morning. Can you tell me which vegetables these are? Delicious! The children and everyone loves these fresh vegetables. Wilner Excil does an excellent job with his crew and students. They all have a green thumb! This land was dry and barren in the beginning....
Widelene, one of our older girls, is in Professional Cooking School. But she is a great help to us when we are gone, watching over the children. She told them to sit down and write about “what they are thankful for,” “all the blessings and good wishes to us and everyone,” and “their love for...
The dangers in Haiti are escalating and with the gangs controlling many major roads, there is no way to get food and supplies to those in need. Your heart will break as a mother recounts her story; she knows the pain of abandonment, loss, and hunger. Despite her struggles, she devotedly takes care of her...

Widlene… She has grown into a wonderful and helpful young lady. She is now 20 and in college to become a professional cook! She could not have chosen anything better! Widlene “loves to cook!” She is always making “special new dishes” for Poppie to try out. These could be meat dishes or pasta or desserts!...
