Why Haiti. Why now. Why not.
It is estimated that there are nearly 1 million orphans in Haiti, a staggering number in a country with just over 8 million in total population. Extreme poverty is the number one reason that so many little ones find themselves without the permanency of a family. Despite these hardships, the children of Haiti show great resiliency and determination. We again cannot explain how and why our hearts found Haiti but we are so thankful we have been lead on this journey once again.
Scott traveled to Haiti on a few mission trips in high school and college. He fell in love with the people and children of Haiti. Our beloved surgeon Dr. Hobar, travels to Haiit frequently on medical mission trips and speaks so passionately of the Haitian people and his love for Haiti. In the past year we have become more and more drawn to Haiti, reading books, sponsoring two children in a local orphanage ands purchasing beautiful artisan crafted jewelery and artwork.
