We have pictures!!! If you followed this website during our trip to Haiti this past June you may recall some missionary friends we met and hung out with while we were there, Ericlee and Dorina Gilmore. Well, it just happens that they are in Haiti RIGHT NOW on a short trip and graciously went to check out Loving Haiti’s Well Project. They also snapped a […]
Just a quick update to let our supporters know what’s been happening this past month! 1. Francois, Madam, and all the kids are SAFE from the hurricane. A ton of rain hit their compound but other than not seeing the sun for a few days(meaning no solar power energy) they are all safe! 2. The well project is still underway. As of now, Francois has running water in the orphanage, guest home and kitchen! The water holding tank as well as the solar panels are […]
After four days of drilling…. THEY FOUND WATER! Last night, after day #3, Francois told us to be praying they find water because after 150ft of drilling they had yet to find it. Fast forward less than 24 hours and we received this e-mail: Dear Denny and Abby Good news for you: I get the water today.Praise the Lord Thank you so so much my friends .God will rewards you my beloved […]
Just wanted to let everyone know that with pledged and received money combined we have raised $16, 970 for the Well Project. That means we only have $3,311 remaining to fundraise! If you have already donated, “Thank You!” If you haven’t, can you please consider?! On behalf of all those sweet kiddos, Mesi (Thank You)
I’ve posted about the suffering I see here in Pignon. And it’s very real. BUT AMAZINGLY, the daily atmosphere at the Philadelphie Orphanage is one of joyful play. Here are some snapshots of playtime which, during summer break, is sunrise to sunset! Michelda moves piles of dirt around – I finally figured out she was “cooking.” Here’s the final product […]
Is WATER such a critical issue…for real?? Pastor just yelled up at me, “Sorry, Gramma Lynn. We have not water.” He’s been working on the generator all morning. But he isn’t talking about MY drinking water. He’s concerned I might not get a shower today. I’m not concerned… I have wipes, hand sanitizer, a bandana to pull back my hair. And he doesn’t let me […]
Betsy came into our room a few hours ago asking if she could sleep with us. After snuggling for who knows how long with my soon-to-be kindergartner and being trapped in the middle of a Daddy-Mommy-Betsy sleeping sandwich I woke up, searching for air in-between two hot bodies. I carried her almost 6-year old body back to her bed. Savoring the snuggles, but believing we would ALL sleep better if we […]
This visit I brought two new books with me that have been quite the hit. One is “My First English-Haitian Creole Dictionary.” The children LOVE looking through it to find pictures they can name. Each cute illustration has its Angle’ (English) and Creole name: dog/chyen, rain/lapli, flower/fle’, smile/souri. It also has the alphabet, colors and numbers 1-10/youn-dis. The crazy thing is that it seems to have even more words that they […]
Most of us have fences for privacy or containment reasons. While privacy is certainly important for the Loving Haiti compound safety is the most important reason for the construction of this fence. With issues such as poisoning or stealing kids, stealing food or other items, it’s imperative that this compounds has a fence. The school, sewing center, church and orphanage are all located on the same 3-acre property. Since the inception of Loving Haiti we have begun completing a huge, strong, sturdy fence/wall one section […]
