Over the past 3 or 4 days you have probably noticed that All Things New has been advertising a “Matching Funds” opportunity from now until October 15. What that means is that for the next 3 weeks any donation that you give up to $6,000 will be matched for a total of $12,000 for […]
Living in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with a 2 and 1-year-old is not an easy task. Our days start before the sun comes up, last until well after it goes down and typically include meetings with employees, going to schools, punishing kids, praising kids, turning people who need jobs away, trying to […]
Many of you may have heard that we were recently robbed of 2 weeks worth of food and supply money while shopping last month (read yesterday’s blog if missed it). It occurred to us that most of you probably don’t realize all that goes into getting food and supplies for our kids and also who […]
If you would like to Donate to ATN, please CLICK HERE A little over 1 month ago, one of our employees was robbed while she was doing market shopping for All Things New. She was not held at gunpoint nor was the money forcibly taken, but she was robbed of 2 weeks worth of food […]
One of the best things about being down here in Haiti is seeing our All Things New kids interact with Sophie and Elijah. Elijah is 18 months old, and while he cannot say each of the kids’ names yet, if you say “where is” and then name a child he can point to every single […]
As you may notice, I am writing a post about this past Monday and how busy it was for us at All Things New. The funny thing is that I was planning on writing this blog Monday evening, but things have just been…well, busy. So I am going to try to remember all the things […]
Buying shoes in the market before school each year is kind of an All Things New tradition now for Lener, myself and the older kids. If you want to read the stories from the past 2 years, just click here and click here. We used to have sponsors send down shoes, but then we realized […]
By the time I actually get to post this (we have been having some internet issues) we will have probably been back in Haiti for 5 days. Life here is so different than life in America and for so many different reasons. In the short time we have been back it seems like we have […]
Before we travel back on Sunday, I wanted to give you an update on the political and social environment in Haiti right now based on the unrest that occurred at the beginning of July. If you recall, the government raised gas prices by close to 50%, the population rioted in the streets, 22 hours later […]
A few years ago, I posted a blog similar to this one and about the same topic, but it is something that often is on my mind in regards to All Things New. We are still planning to write an update blog on each of our kids and talk about what they want for their future […]
We are officially back from vacation and getting ready to head back down to Haiti. It was a great week on the beach with just the 4 of us as we relaxed, played together, and just spent some time doing nothing. Today’s blog is just a general update about what is going on with All […]
We are just 2 days away from our family vacation this summer, and we cannot wait. We are going to spend a week at the beach with just the 4 of us (we are praying that this will be the last time we do anything as a family of 4 and Ezekyal will be with us […]
