Hurricane Issac

We have been spared. We've had some rain and a little wind but nothing like we've seen from other parts of Haiti. Satellite photos show the storm was right above us but we have been protected. Must be the prayers. 

Keep 'em coming.

Thank you.

Girls' Dome Village

We recently received a generous matching grant from an anonymous donor who will match your donation for the girl's village dollar for dollar up to $50,000.  If you would like to help complete our girl's village go to the donate  button and choose the Building/Construction program.  Your donation will go to ensure the girls of Espwa have a village to call their own.

Espwa Klinik

The Pwoje Espwa Sud Klinik is up and running. Below is a picture of children, staff, and neighbors waiting to be seen.

Below is a picture of medication being organized. Vitamin C, iron, and children's Tylonel are a few of the most commonly prescribed medications coming out of the clinic. 

A couple of happy patients! 

Sony and Sonice

Sonice and Sony truly are thriving! Look how much they have grown in just a short amount of time. Wesberline and Wislove are just two of the preteen girls that help to care for the twins.

Food Distribution

Community Outreach is something we find very important and necessary. Above is a picture of local community members receiving vitamin enriched rice to help subsidize the intake of food their house requires. Not just anyone can receive food. We have an application process that helps determine the amount of assistance the family requires and how much we can provide for them. Unfortunately, our list of applicants is much larger than the amount of food we can actually distribute.

Apology

On behalf of Free the Kids, I would like to apologize to any valued supporter who received a fake email from Father Marc. Unfortunately, Father Marc's email was compromised while he is away on sabbatical. The problem has been addressed, and we hope this will not happen again. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Juice

Nutrition is something that is not taken lightly at Espwa. One of the ways we ensure the children are receiving all the vitamins they need is by serving them freshly squeezed juice. Above, Jonas slices limes for citrus juice. 

The process is takes times, as each fruit is hand squeezed- no electric juicers here! Enough juice is made for all 600 children. See those five gallon buckets? They will be filled with citrus juice by the time these hard working men are done!
