Our primary focus in northern haiti is twofold. We continue with the financial and spiritual oversight of the primary and secondary school of the college de sovereign school and church in cap haitian, haiti. The school provides education to over 650 children from pre-k to the 12th grade. We help supply materials, school lunches and teachers salaries. Moise, our director, also provides a feeding center 3 times a week along with housing and care for 15 widows in the cap area. Our second focus is the "good shepherd orphanage" in the mountains of benjamin haiti, about 4 hours outside of cap. In benjamin we care for 55 orphans and 15 widows within the village. Our director, alfred princilma and his wife, have overseen the project for the last 25 years. Our focus has grown to be community wide helping the helpless in their deepest time of need. We continue with a vitamin and parasite program that helps with the health of the complete community.
