When the earthquake rocked Haiti on January 12, 2010, we worried about all of our children and staff in Haiti. We were glad to hear that our sites were just far enough north to avoid damage. And, as we communicated with our staff there, we learned that immediately following the earth-quake, they went to Port-au-Prince to help dig people out of the rubble and distributed food, water, and medicine. Some of the young people on our Haitian staff who speak English volunteered to translate for medical personnel who came from around the world to help treat the wounded.
Even though the initial crisis is over, the work in Haiti is just beginning. In order to have a lasting impact, we must be committed to help Haiti ―for the long haul.‖ The House of Hope can do that by caring for as many orphans as we can, providing education to help the people of Haiti become economically self-sufficient, and sharing the hope that comes from knowing Jesus.
Our ministry is currently caring for 22 new children who were orphaned by the earthquake. We are housing them temporarily at the school site in Wiliamson, while a new orphanage is being constructed. The congregation there has mobilized to provide a family atmos-phere for the children. Several church members have been staying with them, caring for their physical needs, playing with them, singing songs and having devotions, and going on outings.
AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE:
If you have been following along with us on our website or Facebook page, you may wonder why the number of children that we have taken in from the earthquake has changed from time to time. Initially, the children who were orphaned or separated from their families were taken to ―tent cities‖ in Port-au-Prince. Our staff in Haiti went there to bring children to our care, and they were registered with our ministry. In some of those cases, the parents of the children were located, and the children were returned to their families. In other cases, unfortu-nately, parents brought their children to be taken to an orphanage ―for a better life,‖ and have sometimes lied about them being orphaned. When it was discovered that these children had parents, they were also returned to their families. The tragedy of this situation really dem-onstrates that there is much work to be done yet in Haiti.
If you have agreed to sponsor a child, and that child was returned to his or her family, we will find another child for you to sponsor. We have already taken in more children, and many more will come when we are sure that we can properly care for them. A team of nine people will visit Haiti this month and will work with our Haitian partners to decide when and how to take in more or-phans. The new orphanage that we are constructing will have space for between 50 and 60 children. Once that facility is full, we’ll pray about what God wants us to do to help more children.
Eleven of the 26 people who went with us to Haiti in January are from the Valley County, Nebraska, area. After the earthquake, they challenged their community to raise $25,000 to help build another orphanage for the House of Hope Haiti. So far they have raised about $21,000! Impressively, the chil-dren from the community primary and country schools raised about $6,000 of this money! These funds have been a real blessing and will allow us to take in more children than we would have. Construction on the Valley House of Hope begins this month!
Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, thousands more children were left orphaned, without adequate shelter or care. We believe that God is calling us to provide a home for as many of these children as we can. In the weeks after the earthquake, we took in an additional twenty-three children. They are being housed and cared for temporarily in the El Shammah school at Williamson. This school building has four large rooms and a bathroom, and is located on 1.4 acres that we purchased last year. We hired additional staff to care for the children, and purchased beds and other supplies to care for them.
We are now making plans to build a new orphanage on the Williamson site, to house these new children, and up to 37 more (60 beds total). Our friends in Ord, Nebraska, have taken up the challenge to raise $25,000 toward this project (please see Living Water Haiti to see what this community is doing) We have decided to name the orphanage the “Valley House of Hope,” since Ord is located in Valley County, Nebraska, and the location of the orphanage is in a valley in Haiti, with the mountains as a backdrop.
We have also received generous donations from many other churches and individuals to construct this orphanage and care for the children there, and we are planning to continue to expand our facilities as funds allow. We hope to not only care for these children now, but to provide them an education and vocational skills as they grow. First and foremost, we want to teach them to know their Creator and His infinite love for them, and to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
We hope to break ground to build the orphanage by late February, early March, 2010. We will be continuing to look for sponsors to care for these children in the coming months and years.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Unlike America, Haiti has no social security, life insurance, or Medicaid. People tend to have large families, which they have difficulty supporting. When a woman is widowed, it is likely that she will not be able to provide for her children. Consequently, in Haiti there are many children on the streets. Some are complete orphans, while others choose to roam the streets since there is no food at home.
We started the House of Hope Orphanage in September of 2005. Sixteen children were interviewed to see that they would be a good fit for the orphanage. The children live and attend school at the House of Hope, and receive a Christian education both from the school teachers and from a pastor who comes to the House of Hope each week.
It costs $40 a month to sponsor an orphan at the House of Hope. In the future, we would like to add on to the orphanage and take in more orphans. We need people who will either give one-time donations or who will sponsor an orphan on a monthly basis.
Thankfully, we have confirmed that our staff and the children in our Haiti programs have survived. Our community partners are viable and ready to provide urgent aid. The situation is chaotic and life-threatening for children, with critical food and water shortages, and other urgent needs. Help us bring vital support im...mediately. https://secure.csfm.com/canadianfeedthechildren/index_haiti.php

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Unlike America, Haiti has no social security, life insurance, or Medicaid. People tend to have large families, which they have difficulty supporting. When a woman is widowed, it is likely that she will not be able to provide for her children. Consequently, in Haiti there are many children on the streets. Some are complete orphans, while others choose to roam the streets since there is no food at home.
We started the House of Hope Orphanage in September of 2005. Sixteen children were interviewed to see that they would be a good fit for the orphanage. The children live and attend school at the House of Hope, and receive a Christian education both from the school teachers and from a pastor who comes to the House of Hope each week.
It costs $40 a month to sponsor an orphan at the House of Hope. In the future, we would like to add on to the orphanage and take in more orphans. We need people who will either give one-time donations or who will sponsor an orphan on a monthly basis.

-> 3/10 UPDATE FROM THE SITE:
When the earthquake rocked Haiti on January 12, 2010, we worried about all of our children and staff in Haiti. We were glad to hear that our sites were just far enough north to avoid damage. And, as we communicated with our staff there, we learned that immediately following the earth-quake, they went to Port-au-Prince to help dig people out of the rubble and distributed food, water, and medicine. Some of the young people on our Haitian staff who speak English volunteered to translate for medical personnel who came from around the world to help treat the wounded.
Even though the initial crisis is over, the work in Haiti is just beginning. In order to have a lasting impact, we must be committed to help Haiti ―for the long haul.‖ The House of Hope can do that by caring for as many orphans as we can, providing education to help the people of Haiti become economically self-sufficient, and sharing the hope that comes from knowing Jesus.
Our ministry is currently caring for 22 new children who were orphaned by the earthquake. We are housing them temporarily at the school site in Wiliamson, while a new orphanage is being constructed. The congregation there has mobilized to provide a family atmos-phere for the children. Several church members have been staying with them, caring for their physical needs, playing with them, singing songs and having devotions, and going on outings.
AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE:
OUR RESPONSE
If you have been following along with us on our website or Facebook page, you may wonder why the number of children that we have taken in from the earthquake has changed from time to time. Initially, the children who were orphaned or separated from their families were taken to ―tent cities‖ in Port-au-Prince. Our staff in Haiti went there to bring children to our care, and they were registered with our ministry. In some of those cases, the parents of the children were located, and the children were returned to their families. In other cases, unfortu-nately, parents brought their children to be taken to an orphanage ―for a better life,‖ and have sometimes lied about them being orphaned. When it was discovered that these children had parents, they were also returned to their families. The tragedy of this situation really dem-onstrates that there is much work to be done yet in Haiti.
If you have agreed to sponsor a child, and that child was returned to his or her family, we will find another child for you to sponsor. We have already taken in more children, and many more will come when we are sure that we can properly care for them. A team of nine people will visit Haiti this month and will work with our Haitian partners to decide when and how to take in more or-phans. The new orphanage that we are constructing will have space for between 50 and 60 children. Once that facility is full, we’ll pray about what God wants us to do to help more children.
Eleven of the 26 people who went with us to Haiti in January are from the Valley County, Nebraska, area. After the earthquake, they challenged their community to raise $25,000 to help build another orphanage for the House of Hope Haiti. So far they have raised about $21,000! Impressively, the chil-dren from the community primary and country schools raised about $6,000 of this money! These funds have been a real blessing and will allow us to take in more children than we would have. Construction on the Valley House of Hope begins this month!
