LOVE A CHILD INC
April 9, 2010

After working in Haiti for the past 3 years at several different ministries I was overwhelmed when I finally saw the Love A Child facility. I had heard about Sherry and Bob from several other ministries. All the reports were the same and when I finally visited there facility I understood fully the reports I had heard. I'm giving them one star for several reasons. 1st, they LOVE to brag, and they have a very prideful spirit. In the same breath that they are praising God they continually remind you that "THEY THEY THEY" 2nd They belittle other ministries as not being knowledgeable of Haiti. And 3ed they where often hypocritical. one example was in a conversation about there Orphanage and how they "Raise there Children" The 2 founders stated that you have to "raise them like Haitians" while instilling Biblical principals, so they they will grow to be leaders of Haiti. This is a very true statement. However, the conditions they live in can only be described with one word "Bougwa" (google it) I give the one star to God because even threw Love a Child's arrogance God is doing a good work.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Quit wasting money trying to look good to the outside world and focus on the people of Haiti.

More feedback...

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

As with the ruling elite in Haiti this organization uses there financial status to get things done with out much interference from the Haitian Government.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

All were kind and have a much more Christ like attitude than the directors.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

It probably does and when you see the facility compared to the rest of Haiti you see they like to waste money in the Name of God

Ways to make it better...

Sherry the Director would think more of Christ and less of Self.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Lack of respect from long time well respected ministries in Haiti. Some NGO work with LAC because they simply cant get things any other way. UNICEF openly states they are tired of LAC's arrogance and Demands.

One thing I'd also say is that...

The reason they have the large medical facility stationed on there compound is because they were told that If they did not let the UN set up a field hospital on and in there facility and buildings that the Haiti government would seize the property.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
