Meet the Students

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the work we have been doing in Haiti is getting the chance to meet the children. They are joyful, kind, humorous, adorable, and fun. They enjoy playing with their friends, yet also are focused on learning when school is in session. They show up for school pristinely dressed in their uniforms and sit attentively listening to the instruction of their teachers. They also love to sing, dance, run and kick around a soccer ball or dribble a basketball. They like to draw and enjoy games. They like to make each other laugh. In other words they are just like any child growing up in the United States. Except they have less money, less food, and less shelter.

If you are at all inclined to help out, we guarantee any contribution will 100% towards making their lives just a little bit better. Remember - it takes just one starfish at a time. Carey McCombie Schuster

Meet Andy

Andy grew up in the orphanage of Eboch with Ruben. Her mom was (and still is) the chef at the orphanage. After years of hard work, Andy’s Mom was able to officially rent her first home for her family just this past year. Right down the street from their great friend Ruben, Andy’s family home (for which they have pre-paid the full year's rent) currently houses Andy, her parents, her sister, and her cousins. It is truly a welcoming & warm home. Walking inside of it, you can't help but feel the pride and love of her entire family. Andy currently assists Ruben with organizing food and clothing deliveries for various villages and orphanages. She is also studying to be a nurse, and when asked if she ultimately would like to move to the US to practice nursing, she said she would rather work in Port Au Prince where she believes her nursing skills could go to great use. She would like to focus specifically on women's health, which undoubtedly would have a major beneficial impact on her home country. If you have any interest in helping sponsor Andy so that she may finish her remaining two years of Nursing School, please contact Carey McCombie Schuster who is working to raise funds to assist Andy in the completion of her schooling and ultimately in the future of Haiti.
