It is so easy for the why to get lost in the midst of the chaos of our everyday lives; rushing children around town, ball games, studies, bill paying, work responsibilities, and the list goes on and on. The why is always there, but sometimes it can be hard to find.
For at least one project we are currently working, the why doesn’t hide. It actually runs up to greet you when you arrive, flashing a huge smile, it asks you to take it’s picture (which you can see right below…), it grabs your hand and won’t let go.
The why is the children of One Vision International’s orphanage in Haiti. The challenge is building a new home for them. Nothing fancy, just something to put a roof over their heads, something that will have a better chance at withstanding hurricanes and earthquakes than the buildings they inhabited in the past. Something that might give them a chance in a country that more often than not takes chances away. These children are the future of Haiti. If you can’t change Haiti now, change its future, or at least give it a chance.
Drop by One Vision’s website, give a buck or two and see what they are up to in Haiti and elsewhere.
