We wanted to share a few photos from our trips, and explain some of the projects we have been working on with the Foundation for Children in Need.




FFCIN works with several orphanages. One project they have worked very hard on this summer is helping the orphanages build square foot gardens and showing them how to plant and grow several vegetables. They have also been delivering vegetables weekly to provide nutritious food for the kids.









One of the projects we are helping FFCIN with is starting a school for the street kids of Haiti. We have had two Eagle Scout project going creating math books for the school. Below is the group of street kids that FFCIN has been bringing a meal to weekly, and is hoping to get all of them in the school.




In this picture are a few of the street kids we got to meet on our last trip. The boy sitting in the car was hit by a truck while he was washing windows for money. Because he is a street kid, the hospital would not see him. We were able to take him to the American Hospital that was still there still caring for those injured during the earthquake. With their limited equipment, hey examined him, stitched up his face, and said that he would be ok. These three boys are some of the kids that the schooling will help provide a more promising future.



There are so many sweet children that we have been able to spend time with. We can't wait to go back, and hopefully we will be able to bring more supplies for FFCIN!




All of these cute kids from Lesley's Orphanage took some time to write thank you notes.



Thank you for your time and support!
