Description

A night of Haitian culture with dinner and dancing.  All proceeds going to our Oasis Haiti orphanage.  www.oasishaiti.org

At the beginning in August 2016…We envisioned to open the doors of a humble and loving home that would host 4 orphans the first year and 8 the second and 12 the third Instead we had 8 on the first day and now 13 and already 15 today! I don’t know how because we didn’t have much when we started. And despite we were hit by a terrible killer storm only 2 months after Hurricane Matthew who killed at least 800 people and brought everything down on its path we managed to bring hope for dozens of families with food, water and medical assistance. Rebuilding homes, a school roof and church buildings, just around us and in a remote village because The Creator as He promised always filled the hands of those who give and care.

At the lowest point of discouragement when we first began we met some new friends who provided to help more than 34 people with a microloans program soon more than 50 we were dreaming to start a textile business when we bought 2 sewing machines. Now the Mayor of the city opens the upper level of the City Hall for our creative little hands cooperating with us to dream and accomplish our most faithful and boldest dreams

We were dreaming to start a school one day in the future when we will be rich yet while we had no land no building and no teachers for it we were given a little piece of land and a building and the beginning of a pilot school project 25 unschooled kids living in abject poverty now have the hope for a future. In September, 2 classes and 50 kids God willing one day a full elementary school how in the world did all this happen in less than 2 years? Teamwork & generosity for sure, but ultimately the divine inspiration and guidance and providence through humble prayers could accomplish so many things therefore the glory can’t come to men but to God only. And now you can join us in the same way with just one simple act of love and become the privileged witness of the power of ONE…
