Bonswa! This past month has been a whirlwind for me with a championship horse show in Idaho, the wedding of my wonderful daughter and now a trip with a small team to Haiti. These are in addition to the daily tasks of home-schooling four teenagers, laundry, and keeping the house together. I thank everyone who […]
Hurricanes
School has started up again in Kawo and Nan wo. There has been a buzz of excitement and activity; taking new uniforms up the steep trail into the mountains, getting new books and supplies, hiring more teachers; all the things that go with a new school year. There are about 500 children in the two […]
Back to School in Haiti
Dear Faithful Friends, Although we still have a month or so of summer, it’s time to be thinking again of kids going back to school. The schools in Nan wo and Kawo are beginning to purchase notebooks, pens, pencils, paper, books, and have uniforms sewn for the kids. It’s a little more complicated than getting […]
1 Year Helping Haiti’s Children
It is hard to believe that HOPE in Haiti began a year ago. We would like to thank each of your for your partnership whether you are a prayer partner, sponsor, donor or a combination of these important partners. It is because of you that positive things are happening in the lives of the children […]
The New School Is Up!
After a rough series of flight cancellations, snow storms and an airport evacuation we all arrived safely in Port au Prince, Haiti for the March 2008 Mission trip to the village of Kawo. We regrouped and repacked at our base camp home in the city, owned by local missionaries from Idaho. The next day began […]

It is the realization of Dixie Montgomery’s dream to share the love of God with some of the poorest people in the world, through tangible gifts of food, school supplies and a program for childhood education. The dream has been carried by Dick […]
New Opportunities
I’m trusting that you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. With 15 children in the area (plus one in Africa and one with Jesus), my days have been pretty full. I feel incredibly blessed to have such wonderful kids come and invade me, eat all my cookies, and leave me a mess. I’m […]
Simple Gifts
Thanksgiving was a time with family and friends. It was a time to stop and take a breath and reflect on how much we have and how rich we are as a family. I am extremely thankful as I look back over the last year and see God’s hand continually on my life. Now, as […]
We can make a difference!
We have been home from Haiti two days and thank you for your prayers; I know they sustained us. It was hot, sticky, dirty, full of emotions, beautiful and wonderful. I love each person who came to serve and am so proud of their willingness to sweat together, eat strange foods, and laugh at ourselves […]
Back to School For the First Time
Thank you so much for your commitment to sponsor a child through Hope in Haiti! I never thought I would be writing a monthly update of any kind, but your response to helping these kids in Haiti has been wonderful and is spurring us on to reach more children and spread the hope of Jesus […]
