November: Mission Teams, Birthdays, and Sponsored Kids

Happy last day of November! We are so grateful to have had three missionary teams visit us in Haiti in the past month. November was also packed with birthday parties, new sponsored children, gifts for kids, and so much more!

Dana and Caroleann get ready for Thanksgiving dinner in Haiti!

Shana, Makaylah, and Mary Jo help move the rocks.

The first team we had in Haiti this November was Team 31. Shana, Makaylah, and Mary Jo spent their time working on the pavilion project. They helped level the land inside the pavilion, and pour concrete throughout the concrete pour, which lasted two days. They also spent time with the sponsored children, and Mary Jo even chose to sponsor a child!




The second team was Team Good News, from Good News Bible Church in New Hampshire. We are so grateful for the love and support from this church. Good News takes two annual mission trips to Haiti, and their church members sponsor many of the children in our community.

Donaldoni, Devan, and Emmanuel

Team Good News spent their week in Haiti building a one-room house for a family in need. They also were able to spend time with their sponsored children, visit their homes, have a movie night, and more! 

Stewart and Phil help with the home build.

Dana, Todd, and Caroleann put up the walls for the house.

The third team we had in Haiti this November was Team Heywood. They came to build a home in Haiti, plan activities with the sponsored and community kids, and spend Thanksgiving in Haiti.

Thanksgiving crafts with the kids!

Caroleann was also able to work in the clinic at MOHI during the week, and Dana and Todd did some repairs on our community water well.

Happy birthday to the sponsored kids
with November birthdays!

This month, we celebrated with our sponsored kids who birthdays in November. The kids were so excited to come have a party! They dressed up in their nicest clothes, and came for singing, cake, and presents! In Haiti, many people do not know their birthdays and, if they do, they are rarely celebrated.  Getting to celebrate their birthday is a special occasion for the kids!

Happy Birthday Angela!

This month, we also wished a very happy birthday to our co-founder and administrator, Angela!

Makaylah and her sponsored child, Joanne.

We are so grateful to those who choose to sponsor a child in our community. We are excited for each child that gets a sponsor, knowing that that child's life will be changed by sponsorship. This month, David, Joanne Roobens, Jawius, Marline, Roudemika, and Jemima were all sponsored. Thank you to Mary Jo, Makaylah, Kelly, Lisa, Carleen, Jennifer and Devan for choosing to change a child's life this month!

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!
