| The Have Faith Haiti Mission is a special place of love and caring, dedicated to the safety, education, health and spiritual development of Haiti’s impoverished children and orphans. The Mission was founded in the 1980’s by a Detroit Pastor named John Hearn Sr. as The Caring and Sharing Mission. Since then, it has raised and cared for hundreds of children, some of whom now work there caring for the next generation. |

THE NEW SCHOOL OPENS!
October 31st was a landmark day! The HFH Misson's new school opened after nearly a year's construction. It features three air-conditioned classrooms, stocked with desks, blackboards, creative stations and many modern education tools, thanks to your generous donations. We currently operate two levels, 3-5 year olds and 6-8 year olds, with four hours a day of English language instruction and three hours of French, math and social studies. More help is needed for continued operation. But this, as much as anything we do, will change the future for our children. Thank you all!
Following the devastating earthquake of January, 2010, the mission fell upon hard times, and later that year, operations were taken over by author Mitch Albom and his A Hole In The Roof Foundation, and the name changed to Have Faith Haiti Mission, inspired partly by Albom’s book “Have a Little Faith.”

The goal of the mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for Haitian children who do not have one. Children are to be cared for medically, nutritionally, educationally and spiritually. They are to be taught in both French and English, with a goal of achieving at least a high school diploma. Christian prayer and guidelines are a part of their daily life, as is a sense of giving back to the mission though work and responsibility.

Have Faith Haiti Mission exists on donations. All money raised goes strictly into the operation of the mission, from purchasing food to paying for schoolbooks. No administrative costs are deducted from donations.
We are currently in the midst of our 2011 drive to raise $80,000 for operating year 2012, plus a one-time $22,000 goal to complete the new school on the mission grounds.
