The first case of COVID-19 at the end of March brought all travel to Haiti to a halt and forced schools, churches, and most businesses to close. By September, the number of cases identified was slightly above 8,300 for Haiti’s 11.4 million people, but many believe...
In 1995, five of us from the Connecticut Valley Church of Christ set out for a visit to the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere -- Haiti. We went because Ken and Rhonda Bever had a “chance” encounter with Jeantyrard Elmera after a trip they had made the previous...

My journey to Haiti began on my quest to meet our sweet Bebylove. In 2016, my husband Derek and I began sponsoring one of the Cazeau orphans knowing only a few pieces of her story. Later that year, Tonya Hunt, Vice President of HFHC, visited the Ladies’ Class at our...
Each summer, young people throughout Haiti assemble for a fantastic four-day experience called Camp Hope. Teens in HFHC’s sponsorship program are immersed into a fun church camp community that includes relationship building, leadership training, and Bible-based...

My first Christmas Joy Box trip was in 2013, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into! Growing up, my family had been a part of the effort at our church, but I had no idea how big it really was. We landed in Haiti and met up with the rest of the group at the...
