Medical Clinic visit

Dr. Kerry Neal,Orlando, Florida, and Dr. Andrew Hooper, Washington State, did amazing work helping the sick people in the community.


They treated 275 people including children in two days.

They even removed big growths with pus on the neck of a woman and a two-year old boy whose mother died 6 months earlier of TB. Concerned over the little boy the doctors kept him with us over night to monitor him.
Andrew Hooper
In the morning at 6:00 am Norma went to check on him because he had not eaten all day the day before. The little boy was afraid and would not smile.
Kerri Neal
He was more relaxed when Norma cooked oatmeal with added bananas and a sandwich. He ate it all. But what made him smile was the stuffed animal Norma gave him.


He hugged the bear so tight. It was hard to keep tears away.

ESTRELLA Responds Second Time

During Norma Nashed’s visit to Haiti in February 2014, she called Rafael Campusano (photo), Chief Engineer of ESTRELLA Road Construction Company, to schedule an appointment.

He had already built an access road from the NEW highway to Restore a Child Academie in November 2013. This major highway will connect Haiti with the Dominican Republic and is paid for by the European Union. Mr. Campusano was gracious to offer to come to the school to see our need, knowing well that Norma needed something from him..

Norma told Campusano she would like the dirt removed and the ground leveled leading to our " Garden
of Prayer " beautiful, and peaceful location at the bottom of the hill surrounded by trees. Instantly Campusano was on the phone giving instructions to his supervisor to do the job.

The next morning at 9:00 am one of ESTRELLA's excavators was dispatched to remove the dirt and level the ground which you see in Photo 4. This is $20,000 savings and also saving us three months of manual labor.months of manual labor and delay.

Restore a Child’s Innovative Project - Harvesting Rain Water

Restore a Child recognized the need for greater storage at the school due unpredictable availability of municipal water which we witnessed on our recent trip.

Immediate action was taken and five strong men who worked on the school construction were called and started on the digging of a 6,000-gallon capacity water reservoir to harvest rain drinking water.

During the five-month long rainy season with heavy downpours, huge supply of good water is wasted. Engineer Valcin was there to start the process.


This will cost $5,000 for the reservoir, tank and pump so Restore a Child Academy students will never be left without water.

We also plan to do the same at the home and guest house we built in partnership with Upward Bound Ministry headed by Ronald and Marjorie MaGloire in Bois Pin for our agricultural program.

Fill My Cup project - .10 cents a day can provide thousands of children with safe clean water

Through Fill My Cup, a water stewardship project, for .10 cents a day you can provide thousands of children with safe clean water this month.


Keep a track of how many cups of water you drink a day and multiply it by .10 cents. 


For example, if you drink 3 cups of water per day x .10 cents = .30 cents a day = $10 per month. 

Donate that amount to Restore a Child in March— World Water Month.


Restore a Child is responding to this crisis, not just in Haiti, but central Africa in Congo, Kenya and Tanzania.

Without your help thousands of children die. Together we can prevent these unnecessary death.

Haiti School Dedication - sand ribbon cutting ceremony of Restore a Child Academie


Students, parents and guests from the community with the town mayor (250 total) gathered on Saturday at 10:00 am for the dedication sand ribbon cutting ceremony of Restore a Child Academie.


We had worship and singing and thanked God for providing a quality-education school for the poor children of Bois Pin. With the new highway almost ready, children who could afford to go to school have to walk for an hour on this high-speed highway endangering their lives.

Thanks to our school children walk 1-5 minutes to our school on a safe private local road.

Restore a Child celebrates World Water Day 2014

Fill MY cup!

Although technology has advanced so much in our days, yet 800 million people and children around the world still live without their basic right to clean drinking water.

There is a water crisis in Haiti. Forty percent of the people lack access to clean water and only one in five have access to a sanitary toilet.

This March Restore a Child would like you to be part of our new water project: Fill My Cup.

Every time you open the tap to fill your cup to drink, remember a child who often has to walk miles only to find contaminated dirty water to drink which will only make him sick and possibly die of disease.
