 My heart is always filled with hope! Despite the reality that it has been a difficult time across the globe, with rising costs of living and difficulty accessing supplies, and as you would realise, Haiti still being no stranger to these difficulties. Every day in Haiti our leaders from our partner NGO - LIFLIM (Light for Living International Ministries) deal with ongoing fuel and food shortages, days without access to electricity, and then there's the constant political unrest and gang violence! However, now more than ever, we remain committed and hopeful, we stay positive and we continue to empower our leaders, families and children through educational and social programs designed by our inspirational Haitian leaders! Encouraging stories of celebration and empowerment.Celebrations have been aplenty this year and we want to share these with you and to thank you for helping us to make these celebrations possible! We also couldn't do all that we do, without the love and constant support of our Ambassador-Michael Crossland. Thanks Michael for all you do!

Frontier Projects has been partnering with LCH for 10 of these years. Merline also celebrated a special birthday herself! Celebrations were combined to honour Merline and the Vincent family!

Empowerment through SponsorshipsFrontier Projects partners with LIFLIM in Haiti to provide holistic support for parents in poverty by assisting in areas related to their children’s well-being. Through the incredible support of Michael Crossland, our champion, friend & ambassador, & YOU, our incredible sponsors, we have re-united over 30 of our Love Community children back into their own homes, through our Love Family Homes program. Our 9 orphans in Love Community Home (LCH) are always lovingly cared for & attend school in a large family environment. We continue to employ a Haitian Social Worker - Yndjy Belval to support each child through their school & home life and support their families with monthly food packs (from you, our sponsors), community support & life-skills.  An opportunity to get to know your sponsor-childAs part of our commitment to building community across the globe, we are offering our sponsor-families the opportunity to get to know your sponsor child better and to allow them to get to know you. We are inviting you to put together a short video or letter about yourself and family. We would like to share this so your sponsor child / children get to know you. This could be a start to forming a relationship with you. This is not meant to be professional or flashy, but simple and real. Please consider finalising a short video or letter as soon as possible, so we can prepare all the material together to present to the children. If you prefer a letter with a photo you can email this to us and we can translate to French for you. You can find a blank template right here if you would like to use it!
