New Vision Ministries Orphanage
One of the ministries that Joy and Kerry Reeves have started is an orphanage. It is a large compound with high CMU walls and a large steel gate that locks every night. They have a generator for their electricity and quite a bit of property. The ground in Haiti is very rocky. The orphanage compound is no different, however Kerry did plant some grass over on one side and won’t let anyone get on it until it is nice and full.
They have done obvious renovations to the facility. There are probably 8 rooms for children to stay in with multiple bathrooms. It is a 2-story building that they built a large covered patio behind with a detached kitchen. Although it rains about 9 months out of the year, we were there during the dry season so it was perfect weather. There is a very large concrete deck in the front of the compound with a nice basketball goal. There is pretty well always someone playing basketball or soccer on it.

The distress of Haiti is hopelessness. (The emotion of the people seemed to be hopelessness. The situation is anything but hopeless if we unite together. -Colton)
No one enjoys eating the same thing every day, so one of the things we pride our food on the most is flexibility. There are endless ways to use our food if the chef is innovative enough to try. In the image to the left is a pair of burritos made using our Black Beans and Rice.
