This angel is Jeremiah. He came to the Hope House with his twin sister Hannah the day they were born. In Voudou twins are a sign of evil, so when Hannah and Jeremiah were born in the back of a tap tap (a Haitian form of transportation that is basically a truck with seats and a covering with a bunch of people shoved inside) their mother got rid of them as soon as possible.

For a long time Hannah and Jeremiah were under constant watch due to their fragile malnourished state.

But with much prayer and care from all the wonderful people at Mission of Hope they are alive and well today-- and quite the little chubsters.

Jeremiah started walking when I was there this summer. He and Hannah also celebrated their first birthday when I was in Haiti. They, I am sure, will be future leaders of their country.
