Poor little Stephano. When he was a baby, his mother was in prison here in Haiti. She was finally released, but could not take care of him. His father abandoned him and he was taken to the Social Services Department of Haiti. I have always believed that Stephano's real father was Dominican. We don't know anything...
Love A Child has been expanding its Agricultural Development Outreach for some years now. As you know, we have the Agricultural Training Center (ATC), where our Director, Wilner Exil, teaches both a two-year and a three-week course on Sustainable Agriculture for Haiti. Also, at the ATC, we have continuous demonstration gardens, our edible plant nursery,...
Thank you! We just distributed Feed My Starving Children meals over in the Old Letant Village. With the help from our friends, we do this monthly and in many other villages. The cute little schoolgirls in the blue and yellow uniforms are our Love A Child school children. Thank you for these life-saving meals. Love is something you do!...

We have "three sets of twins" here at Love A Child! (That, alone, is enough to put me in a "straight jacket!" HA!)

This is what breaks the heart of a missionary. Early this morning, I walked by our front gate when I saw these mothers with their babies sitting on the curb outside the big gate. They were dirty and dusty and had come a long way. Suddenly, a crowd gathered to look on. There were guys...
"The Lord looks inward, while man looks outward. For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." I Samuel 16:7 In Luke Chapter 7, Jesus is invited to eat at the house of a Pharisee. While Jesus was there, a woman in the city (a "former" prostitute)...
(Some years ago…) When I arrived at the area for our Mobile Medical Clinic in the mountains, I was not prepared for the elderly father with his young child. I could tell that the child had malnutrition, and I sat him on my lap. I looked at the bald-headed boy with the swollen belly and...
