In the past, I had traveled to impoverished, third world countries and had even seen extreme poverty in the US but was completely unprepared for what I saw on my first visit to Haiti. Haiti really is a fourth world nation.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-11843981151039233662011-03-02T07:53:04.609-05:002011-03-02T07:53:04.609-05:00Deanna,

For me it is hard also because it is so close to the US.<br /><br />There are several ways to sponsor a child. At Danita's Children, you can sponsor an orphan or neighborhood child who attends school there for $29 per month. (www.danitaschildren.org)<br /><br />At Pastor Daniel's, you can sponsor an orphan for $50 per month or a student for $20 per month. (www.nehlm.org)<br /><br />For children who are students at the orphanages but live at home, the fees pay for a hot lunch (beans and rice) each school day, as well as for school supplies, a uniform, and the teacher's salary. For many of the children, it is often the ONLY food they receive that day.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-76698111809285195082011-03-01T17:24:45.528-05:002011-03-01T17:24:45.528-05:00What a wonderful effort you went to...some of thes...What a wonderful effort you went to...some of these pictures are truly heart rendering; so sad.
