New Life for Haiti's Volunteer Spotlight:
Katie Green!

This month's Volunteer Spotlight is Katie Green!

Katie first become involved with New Life for Haiti 7 years ago! Her family began supporting our ministry by sponsoring a child, after attending the annual New Life for Haiti Gala event.

“I sponsor a child at the orphanage so that she can have a safe home, food in her tummy and school. I also was on the team of teachers who traveled to Haiti for a training Seminar in educational methodology and student management strategies,” Katie said when asked, ‘in what ways she has been involved with NLH?’.

Why does she support New Life for Haiti as opposed to other groups working Haiti?

“I know that NLH works directly with the villagers and does not get involved in the government politics. We are a true not-for-profit. Our volunteers pay their own way to Haiti and we only have a few paid (American) employees.”

What interests her most about New Life for Haiti?

“The children. As a teacher for more than 30 years, my heart aches for the little angels who struggle daily with hunger and safety. Knowing that my sponsorship keeps a child safe and healthy is what motivates me to make sacrifices in my budget. Also, the opportunity to train teachers to help students reach their potential means the world to me. I pray that these children will be better able to provide for themselves and their families. Each teacher can touch and change a life forever. To know that God provided me the opportunity to be a small part of that change makes me so proud to be a part of NLH,” Katie shared.

What has surprised Katie most about working with New Life for Haiti?

“How generous everyone is with their talents and time. I am amazed at how much work goes on behind the scenes of the Gala, the sponsorship program, as well as now running the School of Hope and Village of Hope. We started off as a tiny seed and have grown into a huge tree!! I was also surprised by the pure joy of the little kids in Haiti as they play and giggle, in spite of their hardships. They are also so giving to others. They will share what meager food they have with you as an act of gratitude. They are genuinely thankful for the smallest things.”

Katie especially appreciates this part of New Life for Haiti’s motto, “Find a small place and make a world of difference!”

Katie’s final words of wisdom to others about getting involved with New Life for Haiti?

“The joy you get from seeing the hands of God at work are worth all of the sacrifice.”

New Life for Haiti is inspired by your generous heart, Katie! We're sincerely grateful for your support not only with teacher training, but also through our child sponsorship program! Thank you for bringing joy and hope to our friends in Haiti!
