Open Doorways Orphanage

Open Doorways Orphanage Open Doorways Orphanage was established as a registered charity in 2007. Board members visit the orphanage with volunteers at least once a year.

It is located in the community of Deschapelles (two-hour drive north of Port-au-Prince). After years of fundraising and generous support, on November 15th, 2011 Open Doorways Orphanage proudly opened its doors and is now home to 15 children. The children attend a school next door to the orphanage and also receive tutoring after school to assist them with their homework and studies. Throughout 2013

we welcomed 5 new children and also completed the renovations of a vacant building on the property that will be used as a studies/activities room for the children and guest house for visitors. The volunteer Board of Directors is comprised of 10 Manitoban’s with diverse backgrounds. We meet regularly to discuss matters of finance, fundraising, operations of the home and particular children’s issues. Recently Open Doorways established an Education Fund as part of our long term plans to ensure our children’s future success. It is our dream that our children are not only able to provide themselves with a means of income, but to also positively impact the future of Haiti.

After sending my email yesterday the children no longer wanted to stay at the orphanage for fear of being kidnapped. As neighborhood residents left their homes to seek refuge in remote areas; we did the same by dispersing the children to different places outside the orphanage compound. Some are with Dieucifie, some with Precious, some have gone to their relatives living in remote areas. I've been in contact with them today, they're all fine, but uneasy.

The thugs came back to Deschapelles last night to kidnap other people, but they weren't successful because the houses were empty.

Thank goodness there were no attempts by thugs to attack our properties in Deschapelles.

Last night members of the powerful Gran Grif gang attacked the population of Deschapelles looting houses, kidnapping several people including a leader of our Church. It was 8:45 p.m. when he saw several armed ones at the door, they pointed their guns at him and entered his house looking for money. They ordered his children and his wife to lie on the floor and took all important items found in the house before leaving with him. Currently many people are leaving their homes to hide in the mountains. The situation is very serious, we don't know what to do, our only hope is in the Lord, because we know that He is in control and can confuse the criminals.

The children and the staff of the Orphanage are doing well, although they are seriously scared and panicking. I gave them some instructions and encouraged them to keep praying for God's protection. Because there is no other alternative now. There is no police presence in the area, state authority does not exist. We have no recourse but God.

Keep Haiti in your prayers.
