Junior was rejected by his family when he became a Christian. Isolation from loved ones was devastating, especially while living in poverty. Our team was able to help Junior get back on his feet.
In addition to our state-side team of volunteers, we have full time boots on the ground in Haiti, spreading the love of Jesus and improving living conditions for many villagers.
We are building long-term sustainable education systems where technology lends itself to project-based learning, all the while providing free access to information technology for the community.
In addition to scholastic education, our qualified teachers provide Bible-based curriculum that strengthens character and encourages the next generation.
I had an experience that affected me deeply on my recent trip to Haiti to deliver the donations from our yearly "Christmas in Haiti" campaign. My uncle and I were driving through a nondescript village called Carvajal when we noticed that one of our tires was almost deflated and needed air. We stopped at the end of the road and encountered a young boy wandering along a nearby dirt road, unaccompanied. I felt compelled to ask him his name and asked the whereabouts of his parents. The boy's name was Justin and he was about 10 to 11 years old. "Where is your mom?" I asked. She is not here," he replied. I asked him about his father. "He is not here either."
I was so deeply affected by Justin and his brothers that I felt compelled to offer the elderly neighbor charged with their care $20 to help care for the boys. In Haiti, $20 American is like $200. This woman praised God and thanked Him for the unexpected donation. It occurred to me then that this flat tire was no accident. So often we hear of these faceless and nameless stories but these boys had faces and names and their plight was vividly disturbing. I truly believe these little four boys are my heroes. I was amazed to see how Justin and his brothers have survived without their parents to guide and care for them. They all seemed so happy with bright smiles and cheerful faces.
Before I left, I humbly asked Justin if I could take a group selfie. I believe every selfie has a meaning and story behind it. And although people take selfies almost every day for many different memorable occasions, this one was especially meaningful as it tells the story of four young boys growing up with no parents and yet still finding ways to survive and be happy.
