Our Children
In July of 2005, Rescue Children Orphanage officially
opened its doors in Haiti near the capital of Port-au-Prince. We are
located in the Santo area within 30 minutes of Toussaint Louverture
International Airport and less than 45 minutes from the Dominican
Republic. Currently, 17 children are registered with plans to add more
children in the future. We are also blessed to have a great
staff
to help us with the children. To view or print photos, visit our
News/Media page.
Rescue Children has begun a new school program at
orphanage. Click here

the children's photo taken on first day of school and
a short video of
them singing.
Many of you have asked about information to sponsor a
child. We are now happy to provide some background information on
each child registered at Rescue Children Orphanage so you can select
children which you would like to help. Please visit
Bios to download or print photos and information on our children and
Photo Gallery
to see the beautiful kids at our orphanage.
What a joy and blessing to work with these beautiful boys
and girls who range from one year to 15 years. About half of them are
attending school for the first time in their lives. Please pray for
us to receive funds, materials and labor to build our own orphanage in
Haiti. We would like to have a nice, big piece of land to raise
goats, pigs, ducks and chickens and to have garden to grow some of our
food. This would be a good project for the children.

We experienced a miracle
at our orphanage in January 2006. Junior Bellevue, our former
Director, and Simon Alexis, one of our children, were on a street near
the orphanage when an elderly lady passed by with an infant. Simon
first saw the lady and a crowd that gathered around her and alerted
Junior. The lady inquired if anyone knew of a place where someone
might take a baby and explained that the baby's mother had left her and
never came back, that she had nothing to feed her. She was
carrying the baby to the trash dump, which too often becomes a dumping
ground for infants whose mothers are too poor to feed them and just
leave them there. Junior approached the woman and took the baby in
his arms. She seemed relieved and left quickly. Although we
had planned to accept children 3 years and up, we could not bear to see
this innocent little child left to die because no one wanted her.
We named her July Angela Morrison and she is loved by everybody who sees
her.
