Water For Life in Haiti

The children of the national school of Rivage in St Jean Gaspard, South, Haiti are so happy they can quench their thirst on such a hot day of school.
Water is not an accessible resource in Haiti and most schools in the rural areas are deprived of running water or fountains that would allow the children to safely drink water and to wash their hands, a practice that is of most importance in maintaining a good health.
Before a generous soul donated a well to this school, they used to get water from the next village well, a long walk under the harsh sun.
After school, there is no longer a need to go on such a long walk; just refill their jug for their daily family needs of water before leaving the school!
Such a generous deed has a great positive and long -lasting impact on these children’s lives: water collection is less of a burden, leaving more time for school work and playtime!
To that donor-- thanks for being the one that brings such joy and comfort to the many children who’d been left without clean water by sponsoring a well in their village. We praise the Lord for each of you that is joining us in that challenging journey. May the Lord keep blessing all of us so we can be a blessing for others by responding to such basic daily needs. ...

Thanks to lots of love and tireless support, children of Divine Help School could experience Christmas before the date! They were the happy recipients of school kits from the Upper Deer Creek Church Vacation Bible School in Iowa. See those looks filled with joy and excitement as they open their bags that contains items that will allow them to draw, color, calculate, express themselves and help them learn, in addition to hygiene items.

Carefully and lovingly put together, these priceless gifts help build hope and confidence in Christ, that their names are written in the palm of God’s hand and that they are loved.
These gifts made them feel so special! ... See MoreSee Less
