Caleb’s and Joshua’s Story –  (Con­tin­ued from home page)…for the unborn
child who would be called Caleb. As Manius built a rela­tion­ship with Noah’s Ark
and its founder Jama Hedge­coth, a long-held desire to go to Haiti began to
reaf­firm itself in her heart. In Decem­ber, 2011 that desire became real­ity when
Jama and some of her fam­ily trav­eled with Bro. Vixa­mar to visit the orphans of
Haiti. While there, a new­born infant was dug out of an out­side, in-ground toi­let
and handed to Jama, who claimed him imme­di­ately and called him Caleb.  The
story con­tin­ues — in early Feb­ru­ary, Jama returned to Haiti to meet her 2nd
adopted son, Joshua. And while these beau­ti­ful baby boys will become part of
her fam­ily within the next few weeks, many, many oth­ers remain behind and
in need. Jama feels a call to return to Haiti on a monthly basis – car­ry­ing as
much relief for the infants and small chil­dren as she can on each trip. Much is
needed – sneakers/tennis shoes for 3–5 year olds;  sum­mer cloth­ing (cot­ton
shorts & shirts), socks, under­wear, and rain­wear for chil­dren ages 2–10;
col­or­ing books and crayons; mos­quito net­ting for the cribs, for­mula (the cost
of which is very pro­hib­i­tive in Haiti), etc. Any of these items (new or gen­tly
used) may be brought or sent to Noah’s Ark for Jama to take to these boys
and girls in des­per­ate need.  All items donated are tax deductible. “Any­one
who has a desire to visit Haiti and see the chil­dren first­hand is wel­come to
travel with me,” Jama invites. “So many of them need homes and we’re
work­ing to help them be adopted.”  Child spon­sor­ships are also avail­able –
