This is not going to be a “fly in the eye” story-. I try to shy away from the pity party and the heart wrenching photos -foreigners are so used to with sponsorship commercials and the nightly news.
I try to focus on the hope, the resiliency and the determination of the people I meet and the people I work with.
This orphanage I am about to tell you about- has many needs. They care for a small group of beautiful children with diverse needs. The orphanage itself is run by a Haitian man and Haitian caretakers, it is supported by a good friend of mine- Rhyan Buettner.
She has recently told me about some of their financial struggles- they have had funding cut back and are struggling to feed the children they are caring for. They are working diligently to create a sustainable project but could use the help of those with a heart for Haiti.
They have a beautiful website- with information about all the children. They also have a section outlining their needs and a sponsorship program.
Please take the time to read all about it and consider a one time donation or a monthly sponsorship. You WONT regret it.
