One night in April, at midnight, our dog was barking non-stop. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I looked outside several times but couldn’t detect any movement. About an hour later, we heard two gunshots in our yard. Through the window I saw our night watchman flee to the backyard and our Rottweiler dog fell to…
G, an ex-student sponsored by Child Care Plus, was thrown in jail four and a half years ago. He never had a trial. A gang broke into the building containing many of the prisoners’ files, including his own, and set it on fire. The judge on his case died. We have to start from scratch…

The children of kindergarten are the sunshine of La Forteresse school. When we pass by them, they run after us and wrap their arms around us or they just want to touch us or take our hand. We warm up under their rays. Despite the situation, children come to church almost as many as before….
Most of the students at The Fortress School, sponsored by Child Care Plus, arrive at school on an empty stomach in the morning and leave in the same way. They eat in the afternoon at home. Now we serve two meals a week at school. Pray that funds will flow so that more meals can…
