Welcome 2018!
January was a good start to the new year. We love to celebrate birthdays and this month we celebrated 12 of our TOHH sponsored children. Most people in Haiti do not even know when their birthday is let alone celebrate with a party. We share the value of their life with them. We remind them that God created them and that they all have a purpose. We sing and celebrate their life and you see how happy they are to feel so special. Thank you all for your donations of cake mixes, frosting, party supplies and gifts. These children are blessed!
More work on the pavilion took place this month. We finished the concrete pour for the basketball/soccer area. A big THANK YOU to Excel Church and their members for donating toward the finishing expenses to our Community Pavilion area. We now have a safe place for kids in our community to play soccer and basketball.
Team Good News returns!
Team Good News from Wilton, NH has been one of our first supports. They have made a total of 5 trips since 2015 and has built 9 houses for families in our community. We are always so happy to have them return.
Team Good News - February 2018
This trip they came to build one wooden house and one cement house. They worked so hard to complete these tasks all while loving on the people in our community with the love of Jesus Christ.
This cement home is the second cement house TOHH has built. This family was so thankful to have Team Good News help. We found this family with the foundation built and living on the foundation with tarps over for shelter. (See photo below) Now, they have a safe and secure place to call home and they are so appreciative for this home.
Thank you Team Good News for changing lives through God's love in action.
