Our Christmas Banquet of December 7, 2013 was a great success, thanks to all of you that bought tickets, donated money, door prizes, baked goodies and other items, as well as coming out to make it a fun time of fellowship.
We raised over $20,000.00. This is indeed the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eye.

School is out – YEAH!
Our children finally completed the school year in their new schools. We had moved the kids from the school they had previously been enrolled in to another school. As most of you already know, schooling is not free at any level in Haiti. This is not a result of shortage of schools. There are, in fact, schools everywhere because it is a business and like all businesses and enterprises, some are good, some are better and some are just plain bad - and for various reasons.
The Welcome Home Children’s Centre team participate in the community of Cabaret in a number of ways. They have, from the beginning, consulted local authorities to ensure their objectives are in line with what is really needed and wanted in the area. During their inaugural visit, village elders, the mayor and citizens were invited to share in the excitement of the promise that is Welcome Home Children’s Centre.
