Time Away and Visiting Us in Haiti

We returned to Haiti on January 10 after a restful furlough. We had a great time visiting with many family, friends and supporters during our time in upstate New York and on both coasts of Florida, and wish we could have visited with many more of you!  We also intentionally built in a good time of rest for us. Self-care. We have learned the value of that, big time!  We are so glad we did!

On our trip back to Haiti, we traveled with an intern from Alabama. Graham is here with us for 3 months Continue reading “Time Away and Visiting Us in Haiti”

We Are Thankful

As we write this we can almost guarantee that anyone reading it has a full belly. We have seen posts on Facebook all day of all the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pies, and even pizza that has been prepared and consumed. So now you have someone napping, watching football, doing dishes or maybe even out starting the Christmas shopping!

One Year in Haiti

It’s hard to believe that we moved to Haiti a year ago!  That year has flown by.  As we look ahead into our 2nd year, we took some time to review the last year and provide this video update.

Thanks to our many amazing supporters that help make this possible.  We would love to have you join our team of financial and prayer partners!  You can support our work financially by making a donation to the Hands and Feet Project in our name.  You can also sponsor one or more of the kids that are in our care.

Feel free to Like and Share this video to help spread the word about the work that we’re doing.

Nine Months

Kids Ready For School
Kids Ready For School

Nine months. That’s hard to grasp. Where does the time go? Can you believe that it’s been 9 months since we moved to Haiti? Nine months of waking up to the joyful sounds of kids waiting to be taken to school (and the occasional rooster). Nine months of learning about each of the nearly 75 kids on our campus and in community care, forming a relationship with each one of them and helping to determine their areas of strength. Nine months of getting to know each of our Haitian staff who each Continue reading “Nine Months”

Christmas in Haiti!

In our time here in Haiti we have had many “firsts.” Some of which we would never have dreamed of experiencing.  Well here is another: Christmas in Haiti. It will be a little different than back in the good ole USA.  For starters, the temperature will be be quite a bit hotter than New York. We will also have green all around us instead of white, and our tree will not be a big pine tree.  As a matter of fact it will be made out of Continue reading “Christmas in Haiti!”

November USA Tour!

We are heading to the states in November! Hopefully it won’t be referred to as Novembrrrr. 🙂  After 4 months in Haiti, we are very accustomed to temperatures between 75 and 95 degrees!  We will be doing a lot of traveling while we’re in the states to visit with family, friends and supporters. We would love to see you all!

Our trip tentatively includes stops in Continue reading “November USA Tour!”

People, Projects & Priorities

There’s a phrase that we often hear about relationships in both home and work environments: “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”  There are some exceptions to this rule, but orphan care is not one of them!
