Lomene is now in her second year of becoming a professional cook! This has always been her dream! We first saw Lomene when she was a little girl taking care of several families... cooking and washing clothes, etc. In Haiti, when a child’s mother and father die, or even when their mother dies, they are...
"Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish; he will eat for a lifetime." This morning I helped harvest our leaf cabbage, eggplant, and okra at the ATC gardens. All the okra and eggplant seeds came from Hope Seeds International. Thank you, David Balsbaugh, President, for...

I know the UN Council is trying their best, and all who are involved. Patience and time hopefully will bring help. With no...
Little "Betina Paul" is just one of the many poor children from the mountains of Haiti caught in the middle of all the crises going on in Haiti. She lives far far into the mountains, and she is 12 years old... Betina has never been to school, and cannot read or write her own name....
