Grace Village Kids are serving the Elderly

Jessica, the In-Country ElderCare Liason, has been doing amazing things in Haiti. One of her goals is to help the children of Grace Village develop compassion by serving the elderly in our program. In the picture below the boys are learning how to give haircuts. This clippers is very old and dull so we will be sending new clippers to Haiti.

Meet The Team

Carrolle Dieulanick, Haitian Employee

Carolle is our Haitian employee who has an amazing heart for the elderly. With some medical training, she makes sure that each of our elders has their medicine, takes blood pressures and more. She visits each elder at least once a week, talking, singing and praying with them. She has also been teaching them bible verses and makes sure they feel loved and cared for. She also makes sure that elders on our meals program receive a meal daily and that all of our elders receive a monthly supply of food staples.

Cheryl Michel, Sponsorship Advocate

Cheryl joined the sponsorship team just after she and her husband Steve, and two of their daughters, Heidi and Kalie, returned from a Calvary Healing Haiti mission trip in July 2013. Cheryl has strong administrative skills and has already made valuable contributions to the sponsorship program.

Vania Pierre, Artisian Program Coordinator

Vania and her husband Emmanuel have been regular volunteers at Grace Church. She also volunteered to help with the bread ovens and after seeing her intricately braided bread.....we knew she would be perfect for teaching the elderly the details of making artisian items as a way to make a living. She started on November 11, 2013 spending 4 hours each day working with the elderly. We are so happy that she is on our team!!!
