Volunteers from across the U.S. came to Haiti this summer with one thing in common — a heart to show Christian compassion through service to the needy. Their days were spent leading youth camp activities for teens, helping with work projects, training our teachers, visiting the widows and those in need in the community, assisting in church worship services, and encouraging our children and HFHC staff.
