Responding to the Haiti Refugee Crisis Thousands have fled major cities such as Port-Au-Prince to escape the rising gang violence. Many of these refugees have made their way to the towns and villages in our team's area, including Fond Doux and Petit Goave. We have been able to feed these refugees through a feeding program which helps feed the entire village on a daily basis and have expanded our efforts to meet other needs such as urgent medical and emergency housing. Funds are also raised to provide travel from the US to Haiti via airplane, automobile, and public transit

While abroad, we connect with numerous local leaders and travel to Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau, and the Mekong Delta to direct, inspire, encourage, and spend time with the locals. We raise funds specifically for the Mekong Delta across the two trips for food and educational materials. We also focus on Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau allotting funds exclusively for items which are of the most pressing needs such as food, clothing and books. Funds are allotted for travel from the US to Vietnam

In 2023, we established a school in Fond Doux to make quality education accessible to many.
