"Clothing for the Poor Children..." I just love the scripture that says, "I was naked and ye clothed me..." When we do this unto the least of the little ones, we are really doing it unto Jesus. Thank you, Sharan Oehlman, for the precious clothing you sent to us for the children! We know it...
Here are the latest pictures of the houses being built for the families living in the caves. The families (especially the children) are so excited to be moving into their new houses soon!

Today, four of our little Love A Child guys graduated from "Kindergarten." The children are Nelson, Lucson, Ti David, and Wiggins. Kindergarten graduation is a big thing in Haiti. Most parents do not have the funds to keep their child in school, so Kindergarten is a big family affair. Everyone buys "fancy dresses" off the street...
In Cité Soleil, life is very dangerous. The whole area is considered one of the worst slums in the Western Hemisphere. The living conditions in these slums are a human tragedy. It was built on a former garbage dump that is overcrowded, with many Haitians living in shacks made from corrugated steel, empty shipping containers,...
