The boy that sings at the end of this video is Jimmy. He is one of the boys we are working with to get him a student visa to come to the US and learn English, then come back again and learn a profession so he can be successful in Haiti. Jimmy is one of the Haitian street kids that has been helped by FFCIN.

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!
Thank you for your time and support!
