I was fortunate to have traveled to Haiti with Star of Hope in February of 2012. What an amazing experience! I saw firsthand the work that Star of Hope is doing and the impact they are having on a country that has so little and has so many needs. As we toured the schools and villages I saw the look on the faces of the children. The look on their faces was all the confirmation I needed to believe/know that Star of Hope is accomplishing great things and is loved by all they have touched . Thank you Star of Hope for opening my heart and mind.

In the sea od NGO's or PVO's some are dedicated and produce successes year after year. How do you find them in real life. A web site, a photo or a friend? Who can say in this changing world where fact and internet become blurred. I have been attached to Star of Hope for 25 years and enjoy seeing the fruit year after year. For me it's not about anything more than helping kid's break the chains of poverty through education! Nothing elaborate, no spin, no tricks and of course no million dollar advertising expence - just sound education in sound environments year after year producing graduates.
Join Star of Hope and Change a life, it might be yours!

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus Christ, we are thankful to God for SOH Trinidad, we have two schools that are functioning well, one in St. Joseph and one in Maloney, we do reflect on the importance of the visit that SOH USA made to Trinidad a few years ago at the time the school in St. Joseph which was made of secondhand ply board and secondhand galvanize was in a terrible state, beyond repair as termites had eaten most of the wood and the building was falling apart, it was a timely visit of a team of workers headed by Bro. Barry that saved the day. The building was demolished and they worked hard to erect a concreate structure, because of the time constraint the building was not completed but funds were supplied so that during their absence work continued, today we have a beautiful building that underwent further advancement and houses 40 children in a deprived community. SOH America has been a good support towards SOH Trinidad and has been able to intervene at critical times in helping the work here to achieve its objectives. We recall a crisis at Maloney in the collapse of the roof where SOH America raised funds so that the roof of the school could be repaired, we are thankful for all the past and present support that SOH America have given towards the SOH projects in Trinidad. We look forward to a healthy, fruitful relationship that will continue to be of benefit to the needy children in both communities, thanks so much to the sponsorship and inspirational leadership that Bro. Barry, Mark Presson, Maria Presson and the team of workers that are working towards the improved lives of the children of SOH Trinidad.

I have had the honour to work with many of the wonderful people in this organization and I know how much effort and heart they put into their work. They are truly amazing!!! I've also visited their work with disabled children in Latvia and I was touched to tears over the joy these children show over the opportunities they've got. I've also had the priviledge to go visit Estrela da Esperanca in Montes Claros, Brazil, where the child I sponsor goes to day-care. It was a heart-warming experience I shared with my own daughter and something none of us will ever forget!

I have had the priviledge to visit Star of Hope projects in the Caribbean, South America, The Philippines and Africa. I have seen the smiles on Ukrainan chidren's faces battling thyroid cancere, at a Sweden summer camp. The Star of Hope people are remarkable. The efficiency of the organization is amazing.

I visited the Boyer School in Haiti to look at my gift being used and was amazed at the level and scope of construction. They told me 5 schools had been rebuilt by Star of Hope after the quake. It was a great trip and the staff was open and honest. Its nice that the kids will get to go to school again.
