Hope for Haiti's Children(HFHC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1995 to educate and care for the impoverished children in Haiti. We are meeting their needs through an education sponsorship program, health care services, orphan care, and crisis relief efforts.
HFHC is changing the lives of impoverished children, one child at a time. This change is realized by restoring hope, by giving dignity through education, and by daily demonstrations of God’s loving compassion. We hope the time you invest in learning about this ministry will touch your heart and move you to action.
Article by Rob Rice, a new HFHC Advisory Board member.
Rob assisted a HFHC team on a follow-up crisis relief visit to haiti the first part of this month. We are certainly happy to welcome Rob as a member of our Advisory Board team.
During our first morning in Port-au-Prince, Ken Bever, HFHC founder, shared with us a well-known Haitian proverb: Roch nan dlo pa konnen mize roch nan soley. Translated this means: Rocks in the water cannot comprehend the pain of rocks in the sun. I am sure that if I had not seen the sights of the evening before, I would not have understood these words without giving them a lot of thought. But the drive through the absolute poverty and devastation, followed by the visit to the HFHC orphanage at Cazeau, changed me forever. I had seen poverty and destruction, but never on this scale. We passed a tent city just outside the airport (which itself was quite damaged), and my heart started to hurt. I saw children washing in filthy water, women doing dishes in that same filthy water, pigs eating garbage on the side of the road and more trash than I thought was possible.
Your donation dollars are at work. HFHC is working daily to bring relief to the Haitian people. Your donations go directly toward helping us to provide medical supplies, food and water to the orphans, our sponsored children, their families and others in need of help. We thank you for joining us as we pray for the Haitian people.
