Jesus Loves Me Home
Haiti...
Once known as "The Pearl of the Islands". A land of beauty, mystery, despair, and a terrible history. Haiti has the potential to be the most luxurious island in the Caribbean. The beautiful turquoise water, bright colored flowers, the vibrant colors of everything from paintings to tap taps to buildings, the kompa music, and the beautiful, laid back, soulful Haitian people. It could be a tropical paradise.
We always see the "ugly" of Haiti thru media! To be honest the ugly is there! Dictators, murder, thievery, dirt, muck, voodoo, human trafficking...Haiti has it all. This is the reason we continue to work in Haiti.
There is no way we can get rid of all the "ugly", but we can put a small dent in it by operating the Jesus Loves me Home! We are raising the children to be Christians and to go out and reach others for Christ. Human trafficking is a world wide problem and Haiti is high on that list! Not only are children sold to foreigners, but also to rich Haitians. Children are sold to other Haitians who have a few more dollars than the family. The are used to clean, cook, sex. They are beaten, no education, very little food. The Jesus Loves Me home exists so we can save children from this life!
The Jesus Loves Me Home is located in Gonaives, Haiti. This is the original orphanage in Mapou Lagon, Haiti.
After the death of Jeanrilus Delicat, we suffered great loss and were forced to move the children.
After several years in downtown Gonaives, we are now in a spacious area of land on the outskirts of Gonaives. We have several buildings, gardens and a small play area.
Prospere & Clotide Delphin are the Haitian administrators of the orphanage. They do a wonderful job. Clotide makes sure the whole place is spotless. Prospere works hard in the gardens to produce vegetables and fruits. Haiti's Division of Social Services always gives us high marks and brings other orphanages to see and talk to Prospere and Clotide.
Currently we have 31 children living with us. These children are so sweet and loving. They want to be hugged and loved and to play! They go to school, have chores when they arrive home, have medical treatment when needed, they have food and they have a nice, safe home to rest their heads in peace and love.
