Meet Wilson Barthelemy, better known to all of us as Nelio. He is the director of all of our Love A Child projects and outreaches. He has worked for us for twenty years. He is responsible for all we do in Haiti...our feeding programs, our schools, getting our containers out of Customs, hiring new people, all of our licenses, and the maze of hoops we jump through, just to survive. We do not know what we would do without Nelio. He is our gift from God.

We want to thank you for visiting our website because this means you are someone whose heart has compassion for those living in poverty in Haiti. We are the Founders and Directors of Love A Child. We moved to Haiti in July, 1991 as full time missionaries, and we can say that this has been the greatest joy of our lives.
If you are interested in feeding the hungry, sponsoring a child, building a missions project, or traveling into the “regions beyond” on foot, four-wheel drive, or even by mule or donkey, then this is the mission website for you! We also invite you to visit “Sherry’s Journal,” a daily, cultural diary of life on the mission field of Haiti!
God bless you,
Bobby and Sherry Burnette
