Star of Hope strives to help with the economic famine that exists in the communities where we work. It is a difficult and complex issue but one that cries out for a solution. Without a commerce base, sustainabilty of any project in a community is in serious doubt.

Kansas volunteer StarTeam visited the Carrefour Children's Home

Enjoy some of their activities with the 100+ children who call this home.

StarTeam volunteer trips meet spriitual, emotional and physical needs of the children helped through Star of Hope around the world. For information on how you can be a part please contact us.

The next trip is a construction group, building a Preschool Annex in Jeanton Haiti. They will also do some repair to make sure the roof is secure for the upcoming storm season. Work teams provide encouragement for the local people who struggle with daily survival and give them a sense of not being alone.This team is short of funds to meet their incountry expenses. Please consider a donation to assist with this need. You may give on-line, by phone or mail.

Each StarTeam Volunteer has a story. Here Pastor Henry from Great Bend, Kansas shares his week in Haiti four months after the earthquake. If you wish to contact him or have a StarTeam Volunteer come to your church or group and present their own story, contact us here.

You can be a part by either going as a StarTeam Volunteer or giving to help make it possible for others to go. To make a donation just click here.

Resil Lovenson is a six year old pre school student at the Star of Hope Hess Project.  He is a very helpful child, he often helps distribute food to the other children, the one meal that most of these children will most likely receive that day.  He says that he loves school but knows that there is much missing with the entire building collapsed.

Star of Hope on May 6th broke ground at the Hesse School located in the mountains.  There is a team of ten from Kansas going to the community of Hesse on May 22 for a week.  The team will be spending their time counselling and work with the kids on their fears and distractions from the earthquake in January.

March 25, 2010 - Over two days the team worked with some of the more than 600 children in the project, helping them cope with the earthquake. Child trauma counselors, spiritual counselors and teachers who work with younger children teamed together to identify children who might need additional help.

We work with 5,500 children through our projects in Haiti. All are in need of this kind of emotional and spiritual healing. But we are short of funds to make this happen. A $22 donation will allow one more child to receive help. Will you be one who helps? Click here to help!
