APRIL 2016 Newsletter

Among clean water and sanitation, immunization is one of the most cost-effective public health investments. And thanks to ASAD Haiti, all our children are up to date with their vaccinations. We thank God for Marie-Carmelle Pierre, Dr. Nelson, Jean-Louis and  the nurses of ASAD for making sure that our children stay healthy.

Every month (at Diakonos’ Small Community of Family) we celebrate kids birthdays. This month it was Exa and Holken’s birthdays, and boy, did we have fun with cake and Haitian kola and gourmet cooking!

Exa is a very smart boy and his Godfather, Steven, can be very proud of him. Holken has also come a long way since he has been at Our Small Community of Family.

Please know that when you sponsor a child your contributions go towards paying for very real tangible things like vaccines. You’re not just contributing to a cause. You are very likely buying the very pneumococcal vaccine or the measles vaccine that will keep one of these children out of the hospital or possibly even keep them from an early, preventable death.

Both boys enjoyed their birthdays as we celebrated with music and special lollipops from Chiwuawa, Mexico — courtesy of Envoy Flight Attendant, Jose Redondo.

When Monica Watkins came to our Small Community of Family in Haiti neither she nor we could not have imagined what took place during what was to be a fun and simple little art workshop to hep the kids of our special orphanage find some distraction.
