Give a Kid a Kid in Haiti ready to give more teams goats!

The GKK leaders met on Sept. 23 in Le Forge at the administrator Chantele's house. As you can see from the picture, her children and friends also wanted to be in the picture.

In all, 7 leaders of AFH who are involved in the GKK project met to go over the results of the program to date.

The good news is that this summer our players and leaders have given 22 goats back to the program, and this is enough to give at least one other team goats!

The program has faced some challenges as two of our goats were stolen and killed for their meat, and one of our breeding bucks was hit by a car and died.

However, the program is working very well over all, and lots of baby goats are expected to be born in the next few months!

Leaders shown in the picture above are:

1) Chantale, GKK project Administrator
2) Nesly Gustave, President of the Gonaives Regional Committee
3) Alner, a veterinary agent
4) Darwens, a veterinary agent
5) Lucasse Henrilus, AFH staff
6) Rochenel Pierre, AFH staff
7) Rich Mears, Director, AF Haiti

Center of Hope Surveying Team visits Haiti

The field as it is now


Rich got back to Haiti on Tuesday, Sept. 16th and 3 days later received a team of 4 from Ambassadors Football, Int'l that consisted of Jon Ortlip, the International Director of AF, John Boggs, who is over the Center of Hope ministry worldwide, John, a specialist in artificial turf fields and and Richard, a surveyor.

The team spent from the 19th to the 22nd of September surveying and laying out the field and placing the out-buildings like bathrooms, locker rooms and a waiting area for parents when picking up their children.

The team also found out what building materials are available in Haiti so that a minimum of material needs to be imported.

On October 5th, Quisqueya Chapel will be presented with the proposed layout of the Center of Hope and have a chance to ask any questions they may have.

Then on Oct. 12th, the final vote will be taken and hopefully the project will be approved!


If it is approved, then planning for the construction would begin immediately!

Please pray for God's will for this exciting project!
