Rebuilding Haiti Physically and Spiritually, One Community at a Time
The Forgotten Children
It’s unfortunate that we’re only two months away from remembering that horrible earthquake in Haiti and still, just one hour’s drive from Port-au-Prince, hunger has such an impact on the lives of children. When Haiti’s Hope received word about the dire conditions of 27 children in Arcahaie, Haiti, our President decided to stop by and see for himself during an already planned visit to that country. It’s true what the Scriptures say, that a man plans his steps but God ultimately directs him where he needs to go. That God does with us what He wants at any given time!
What did Haiti’s Hope find? Some wonderful children barely surviving with their basic neccesities; housed in a small block building with three rooms, one for the girls, one for the boys, and one used for the storage and where the pastor’s kids sleep. The Pastor and his wife sleep in a tent next to this structure. They have an outdoor kitchen to prepare meals and The church/school is held under a tarp.
Listen, there are so many reasons related to poverty why parents would abandon their kids to the care of others, but I’ll just share one: they can at least eat one meal daily provided by people with compassion. You know, people like you. We’re already looking into ways we might be able to help. One would be to build a chicken coop that would give them both food and a self-sustainable project to live off. That project costs about $4,000.00. Times are hard. Money is tight. But God still wants to reach out and rescue those who cannot fend for themselves. And He can only do this through you! And when we help the poor, we honor God. It’s that simple.
Please consider a $25.00 donation to www.haitishope.org to make this project a reality for these children!
