OSF visits HELO Haiti!

Orphaned Starfish • February 26, 2015

We are back from a very special trip to Haiti. We visited our children from HELO in Les Cayes and brought them 8 laptops generously donated by Cigna. Right away, the children knew how to open and use all the software programs, signs that they already have had an incredible education since we began our project with HELO 3 years ago. The boy above created this for us. 

We also took them to the local botanical garden called EDEN where the end of the river and the sea meet. The children were so happy to swim and spalsh a eat the almond fruit from the trees they climbed. It was a magical day complete with the children singing the entire way home. 

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OSF. YOU ARE NOT ONLY CHANGING LIVES, YOU ARE NOW SAVING THEM AS WELL.
