A little bit about the Orphanage by Karin White

Hello everyone,

As a lot of you guys know, Leo was able to go, because one of his friend from residency at Florida Hospital, Dr. White, had some connections in Haiti. Him and his wife, Karin, recently adopted a little boy, name Clifford... Here is what she had to say about where Leo is, and some picture from preview trips.

In 1998, the Jacksonville Baptist Association established JBA Haiti and launched the Cabaret Baptist Children’s Home outside the city of Cabaret. From the beginning, our intent has been to develop ministries that will enable Haitian children and adults to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and through Him, change the country of Haiti. Since 1998, we have opened an orphanage housing 40 children, an

academy consisting of a school for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade, and English classes and a trade school for adults in the community. Our ministry also includes a church thatnot only gathers to worship but goes out to minister in the community to those in need. jbahaiti.org

...I don't know if I told you how we got involved but my dad went down

with his church to repair a well and after a few trips his friends there asked him if his son-in-law dr could come down and check the kids out. we tried to go in 2006 but they were having the prez. election and there was violence. we ended up going in feb. 07, august 07 i went w/o him march 08 and then we went again june 08...we have been so blessed to be a part of it all...today michael wrote that he can see how God formed this team i wish i was there so badly it makes my heart ache...but they are going to do such great things for the people there!
