The Miracle of Mirlande
She looks like the picture of health. Except for the scars along the entire length of her left forearm and left side of her body, it is hard to imagine she was lying on her death bed less than 12 months ago. She contracted malaria last year and had to be sent to a hospital for treatment in a city about three hours away.
After leaving an orphanage, children become wards of the government and we knew, in all likelihood, we would never see her again. We learned that while she was in the hospital being treated for malaria, she was forced to work in the kitchen. She was on the road to recovery, but while working she suffered third degree burns to her arms and the left side of her torso. The infection that set in almost killer her.
It is a miracle she survived malaria and overcame the infection, but the biggest miracle is that she was found her place back in the OIH orphanage. Praise the Lord! Our miracle has a name: It is Mirlande.

Mission Trip Postponed

Department of State, OIH has postponed the August 9 - 19 mission trip to Haiti. We will post the new mission trip
information as it becomes available.

Clothing Opportunity
OIH has been offered a substantial amount of used clothing in excellent condition for free. The garments range in size from infant to adult, male and female alike. We have a huge need for clothing at the OIH distribution center to help the earthquake victims who have lost everything and migrated to Bombardopolis. We need either donations for the shipping expenses or someone who owns a truck company to volunteer to deliver the clothing to our Margate, Florida warehouse from central Indiana.
Please call us at 1-800-704-7611 if you are able to help.

Emergency Response
OIH seeks to raise funds to provide food and safe water to hundreds of refugees, orphans and abandoned children who have come to our center for help. Please donate for long-term support for the earthquake survivors who have no hope for tomorrow. Haiti desperately needs you. Please help! Monetary gifts are tax deductible.
.......... Current Project Needs
OIH is looking for individuals to sponsor a project or commit to sponsoring one or two items! All of these items are available for purchase in Haiti, which would eliminate the need for shipping costs from the U.S. Read more...
