myLIFEspeaks

My LIFE Speaks is a wonderful organization working to make a difference in Haiti.  The following information comes directily off of their website.

Vision Statement

myLIFEspeaks exists to speak up for those around the world who can’t speak for themselves by bringing LIFE-giving aid to orphans with and without special needs and showing all people around the globe their worth. This will happen by allowing orphans with special needs and typical orphans the opportunity to grow up together in the same family environment. When complete, myLIFEspeaks efforts in Haiti will include a campus with orphan housing, community center, medical center, and more.

Mission Statement

myLIFEspeaks exists to SPEAK UP for those who can’t SPEAK for themselves while allowing people in the United States and around the globe the opportunity to be a part of something BIGGER than themselves.

Outline of Problem

With a population of over 9 million, Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Haiti currently has almost 500,000 orphans. Recent estimates have indicated over 50% of the population is under the age of 15; 80% of the country is unemployed; and almost 50% are illiterate. In a society with such staggering poverty, children with special needs are often overlooked completely. myLIFEspeaks seeks to provide the best quality of LIFE possible to orphans with and without special needs through providing safe housing, quality education, and the best possible medical care in a campus setting.

I also want you to Meet the Kings.  They are a wonderful family who are part of the the myLIFEspeaks Organization.  The Kings will be moving to Haiti to be a Family for the children of Haiti.

In October of this year, I am planning on going to Haiti with the King Family as part of a Medical Mission Group.  Please pray for the children of Haiti, the King Family, and those of us who are preparing to embark on this trip.

You'll see more about Haiti in the upcoming months.  Lots of planning and preparing in the months ahead.   I'm very excited about this opportunity and for what God has planned!
