Isn’t she just a doll?! Natalie is ten years old and in 4th grade! She’s prissy but likes to play soccer. She likes to work in the kitchen, wash the dishes, and clean the floor! She wants to be a “Chef!!” We have the sweetest kids in Haiti! And we love them all! Sherry
Haiti is in the worst food crisis it has ever been in, since before we “moved to Haiti" in 1991. The chaos, caused by factions in the government and the rich, has affected everything in Haiti, and the poor worst of all. Also, the price of staple food items like beans and rice has risen...
"What's Love Got to Do With It?" Tina Turner sang that song and made a hit record. Yet, she never understood that love, the "real love," or the lack of love, has everything to do with everything that affects the whole world. In fact, you can sum up the crime problem by saying, "it starts...
“Zoey.” I don’t think I’ve seen this baby smile since she was born! I have sent her to two doctors and two hospitals because she cries all the time. We have changed her formula and done everything we know to do! I think she has a bad case of “spoiled-itus!” Ha! Sherry
We love the coffee farmers from the mountains of Haiti. Some only have two or three coffee trees, others have many coffee trees. They were so excited when we sent 100 big bags of rice up to them through Bichard to distribute. Everyone was so thankful. Some of the best coffee in the world comes...

Sandraline... I call her “pi wi li” in Creole, which means “lollipop!” She is 12 years old and in 7th grade, but she struggles with school. She is a “hug-a-ble” and a very loving little girl. Sandraline loves working in the kitchen! She is “super strong” and loves sports, especially soccer! She wants to be...
The average Haitian meal of rice and beans (if they are fortunate to have any) takes about 2 hours to prepare over the traditional “3 rock stove” (we know it as a primitive campfire.) It also takes 2 hours’ worth of precious fuel. It’s dangerous, hot, and smoky. At the Agriculture Training Center (ATC) we...
The volunteer work team from the state of Washington left this morning to travel back home. They had a police escort to the airport because of the dangers of the Papaya Gang. Their trip was mission-critical. Look what they did from scratch in 4 1/2 days! They put up two buildings. One was the Hand...
"Our Security Guard." We have lived in Haiti for 28 years. When we moved to our property in Fond Parisien, Haiti, we had to clear the land, run off the bad guys, and get the Voodoo people saved. After, in addition to all our churches and schools in the mountains, we developed many projects on...
