To look at this wonderful, handsome, young man, you would never have thought that he was raised to be a "restavek slave." I first noticed Jean Edwouard when we were in the village of Old Letant. We were by the lake and we had a Feed My Starving Children team with us. There was this...
We are preparing and moving into the new Malnutrition Center. We are putting down gravel and just unloaded the last load of all the Malnutrition Center furnishings. It’s all very exciting! We are hoping to open by the end of the month! Many little babies’ lives will be saved. They are the children of the...
We are so proud of our young teens and older girls here at Love A Child! They all study hard for their school tests, keep their rooms clean, and are very respectful to the workers and their teachers. Their favorite hobby is “cooking!” You can be sure that they will all be in the kitchen...
"For the Thing Was Done Suddenly." Some people are so slow to make a decision or get things done for the Lord... We knew a lady years ago who always so, so slow to make up her mind. If we had a team going to Haiti, she would keep everyone waiting, because she was "waiting...
Wiggins (Jacque) is nine years old and in third grade. He loves to play soccer and basketball. He loves school and his favorite subject is math. He is the brother of Fabiola. He is not a child who smiles all the time but, rather, is more serious. When his mother died, his "stepfather" could not...
Just look at all these dishes our Haitian daughter cooked up! Widlene’s high school class, Rheto, had a party at our school. Our girls did all the cooking and wow!!! Their food trays looked great! As I have said before, “our girls love to cook... because they love to eat! Ha!” We are so proud...
Good morning from our Love A Child Children’s Home! “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 The Lord has made this day, and I will rejoice and not fear. We are walking in his Word today, with his angels around us… Bobby Burnette
"Imagine giving a child away, because you can't feed them all." Betina was born after the 2010 earthquake in Cité Soleil, Haiti. Anyone who knows Haiti knows what a dangerous area this is. Betina came from a large family and there wasn’t enough food for everyone. Her parents abandoned her. Betina was "rescued" by some...
"Work, while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work." We teach our children to "work." Usually, the girls are working in the kitchen, ironing, scrubbing the floors, or cooking, and the boys are washing the car, sweeping, picking up trash, cleaning their rooms, etc. (Of course, for the older children,...
We wish to thank our friends who help us so much with the Birthing Center. First of all, special thanks to MAP International, for all the pregnancy vitamins. We had to reassure the mothers that the vitamins would give them good health! Haitians don't understand some things... they first thought the vitamins would make the babies...
