Go. Serve. Love. This t-shirt expresses the heart of anyone who's been to Haiti - and oh what joy is given to the children!
Last week, two representatives from the pediatric clinic (our medical program manager and Dr. Muscadin) attended a Micronutrient Symposium put on by the collaboration of Vitamin Angels and the Minister of Public Health (MSPP). Many children in Haiti and all around the world suffer from invisible hunger. Rarely does it show VISIBLE signs that the child is affected by the deficiencies of micronutrients their bodys are experiencing. It is the source of unhealthy physical & mental health, increases infant & maternal mortality rates and decreases cognitive development in children.
A few of the worst manifestations of these deficiencies are: Spina Bifida, Goiters, night blindness, Diarrhea, and Anemia.
Who remembers Baby M? He passed away last September. Because he suffered from a deficiency in folic acid, he was born with a neural tube defect called Spina Bifida, which lead to a complication called Hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain). This could have been prevented with prenatal vitamins.
C4C along side of Vitamin Angels is dedicated to the promotion, education and distribution of these micronutrients. They currently provide our clinic and mobile medical clinics with Vitamin A, Albendazole (to kill off intestinal worms), and prenatal vitamins (to give to pregnant and breastfeeding mamas). Deficiencies in micronutrients is a topic we will be stressing throughout our nutrition education program beginning in July (see past post).
It’s hard to stop typing as we want to share all that we’ve learned and all that we are doing to fight against these terrible, and many times fatal, manifestations!

Look at the before and after pictures of just being in one of our feeding programs for a few months. This little boy is much healthier. The orange hair is gone, his eyes are much brighter and his cheeks are fuller. Our partnership with Feed My Starving Children and all of you is truly helping the children of Haiti. Please pray for the little guy as his mother recently passed away but the 'Church' and Chances for Children are there for him!
Excited to welcome VIA church to Haiti; the next couple days they will be serving in a couple feeding programs and then heading to Kenscoff to help us transform a room in the guesthouse into our future studio apartment space for long term volunteers/adoptive families.
This was a super special week for our Women Empowerment Program! Carry Somers, fashion designer and founder of the world’s largest ethical fashion movement, Fashion Revolution came to our sewing room in Kenscoff. It was a privilege to host her in our space and proud of our women for their amazing work! Learn more about what we’re doing at www.zelhaiti.com and www.ilajoi.com
