Please Help Us Help Them!


I am in Haiti right now.  I have been here one week.

We have 92 children at the Future Of Haiti Orphanage, and over 300 coming from the surrounding neighborhoods to attend our humanitarian school Institution Humanitaire Theta.  The total number of children here studying during the day is 423.

My heart bleeds for the children of Haiti who have no opportunity and very little hope.

A little boy named Colosse was just brought upstairs this morning by Pappi Reggie because he came to school from the outside, in his nice school uniform with torn up sneakers, without having eaten. His stomach was hurting because he was hungry. We gave him some labouyi (porridge) and water. I asked him in Creole if he was hungry and he said yes. Then I asked him in Creole what his name is, and he said in English, "My name is Colosse (he said his last name too)." I said, "Oh! You speak English?" and he said, "Yes." I said, "You are very intelligent" and he said, "Yes." I took photos of him eating but the connection is too slow to upload them right now.

How many more children like Colosse are there?
Dying for an education, dying for a decent meal, but not complaining or crying, staying calm and proud.

Please help us help them. I want to help them all.
