Gangs in Haiti Move North, Attack Cabaret
Last week, I wrote about living each day to the fullest for GOD, and in that sense there is always a part of us that should consider every moment that we have is a blessing.

ATN's 2022 In Review

Our Kids Took A Trip!
The truth is that the past few years have been really difficult. They have been difficult on our kids, on our employees, on our organization, and on our family as well.

How Did Haiti End Up In This Mess?

Normalcy in Haiti
Thank you to everyone reading this that allows our kids some "normalcy." We definitely could not do it without you.
