If a Haitian parent is fortunate enough to have their child go to school, it’s a miracle. Most children don’t have the opportunity to go to school. Here at Love A Child, we want the children to love, serve God, and have an education. You are looking at the “future of Haiti.” Joshua, left, was...

Even though he loves soccer, he is a serious kid. When he was younger, we let him choose what kind of work...
When the older kids are out of school, they all have work to do. But once in a while, “Poppie Bobby” gives a few of the girls a “driving lesson” in my old Cruiser. They don’t leave the property but they have a great time! Sometimes, they hit a bush or a tree because they...
