Grace Village and Elderly Visits


Today we visited Grace Village located in Titanyen. This is a wonderful addition to the community through Healing Haiti and has been able to make such a difference in the lives of those that live there. We were able to tour the grounds and see what growth and expansion has gone on over the past three years. The resources and opportunities that Grace Village has created for this group of individuals is phenomenal. On site sits a church, a health clinic, a school, an orphanage with family style housing, bread ovens and a feeding center. Our team was able to interact with the children who were currently attending school there and they welcomed us with open arms and hearts.

Our next destination for the day was visiting the elderly who lived in the village of Titanyen. The individuals that we had the amazing opportunity to see were so full of life and happiness once we stepped into their houses. They greeted us with such wide smiles and welcomed us without hesitation. We entered their homes with heavy hearts as we saw the condition that they were living in, but were quickly inspired by their love for God. At each house we all gathered around the individuals and sang to them as we cleaned their feet and hands, and applied lotion to their worn and tough skin. Each person that we visited was so grateful for our presence. They touched our hearts just as much, if not more than how much we wanted to touch theirs.

    YouCaring invites you to support The Caiman Haiti Foundation to rebuild the lives of Haitian Women And Children with its program “Securing a Change in Haiti.”

    Please help us make a charitable donation so that we can continue Gabriel’s mission to offer much-needed relief to Haiti. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to purchase food, medical supplies, and educational materials. It will also pay for the distribution of clothing and shoe donations and to establish an after-school program. In addition to financial support, we also welcome in-kind donations of school supplies; used computers (Pentium 4 or equivalent); projectors; DVD/CD players; classroom chairs and tables; learning/instruction books; t-shirts and pants for boys and girls 5-15 years old; sandals; and used cars.
