October: Sponsored Kids, Mission Teams, and More!

We had a great October at Tree of Hope Haiti, with new children sponsored, missionary teams, and more! 
Nancy and Cassandra with
Nancy's injured arm twin, Roseguerlande.
This October, Angela, Gama, Nathan, and Nyah arrived back at TOHH in Haiti! They came with Cassandra, as well as Nancy and Marie Maude who spent a week at the TOHH Guesthouse in Grand-Goâve. 









Nancy works with Johnsley and Wilzer on their English skills.

We had an incredible week with them, and we are grateful to Nancy for spending time with a group of sponsored kids that struggle with writing, and another group of sponsored kids that have advanced English skills.
With Nancy and Marie Maude, we also had a birthday party for our sponsored kids with birthdays in the month of October! The kids came for the birthday celebration, complete with cake and presents! 

Happy Birthday to our October birthday kids!!!
The kids were so happy to see Carleen return!
This October, we had Carleen come stay at the TOHH Guesthouse too! We are so happy to have her become more involved at TOHH as our Sponsorship Liason. She is helping us with child sponsorship administration and child letters, among other things. Thanks, Carleen!









We are always grateful for those who chose to sponsor children. You truly are changing the life of the child you sponsor by providing them with not only education, but also a meal each school day, as well as everything they need to attend school, including uniforms, shoes, notebooks, textbooks, pencils, pens, erasers, and more. 

Magnela's off to school!
So many letters from the kids!
This month, we are grateful to Saundra for sponsoring Daphney, to Chelle for sponsoring Thony, to Carleen for sponsoring Shinaïder, and to Lynn for sponsoring Loubens!



We love keeping children connected with their sponsors. This month, we mailed over 175 letters from sponsored children out to their sponsors. We were so happy that many people shared their photos of themselves with their letters from the children. 






At the end of October, we welcomed Team 31 at the TOHH Guesthouse in Haiti! This team will be working on the pavilion just outside of the missionary compound. We are so grateful to have them work with us while we build this exciting new piece of our TOHH story!
