As stewards of your gifts and donations, we are always zealous to make sure your investments are well-placed in the work of raising up educated young leaders, feeding the hungry of forgotten regions of Haiti, and providing school buildings, paid teachers, books, and HOPE! It has recently come to our attention that we can no longer be assured that your gifts are being used as directed in the regions in which we have been working. It is with much prayer, careful consideration, and great sadness that we have decided that we must cease our financial partnership with the schools, clinic, and church we have principally been backing.
