26 year veteran of the United States Army Joseph Mcintosh arrived shortly after the earthquake to find orphans by the 100s of thousands walking the streets. Here he is 4 years later, still doing everything he can to help as many as possible. #admiration #haiti #nonprofit #sanctuary #education #thisiswhywedowhatwedo

How can you look yo the future, when you're just trying to survive today?

It's easy to become tired. Frustrated with the never ending poverty. The hundreds of thousands that still need help. But to him, he is not a number. He is an individual. Scared, hungry, and hopeless. Waiting on a miracle that probably won't ever come. #kotesabon #education #sanctuary #nonprofit #haiti #thisiswhywedowhatwedo

Even kids that have a home can have it hard. Most boys are expected to start pullingg they're wait by age 10. Digging, cleaning, begging, or in this case recycling. Anything to not come home empty handed. #haiti #nonprofit #sanctuary #education #kotesabon #thisiswhywedowhatwedo

Whether in the mountains or the city, or on top of a pile of garbage, kids are kids wherever you go. It's why they're so special... They remind us we are all the same. Photo: @jlbfactory #haiti #nonprofit #sanctuary #education #kotesabon #thisiswhywedowhatwedo

"There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right And it comes in black and it comes in white And I'm frightened by those that don't see it" - The Avett Brothers #kotesabon #haiti #nonprofit #sanctuary #education #thisiswhywedowhatwedo

"Fleas dream of buying themselves a dog, and nobodies dream of escaping poverty: that one magical day good luck will suddenly rain down on them---will rain down in buckets. But good luck doesn't rain down yesterday, today, tomorrow, or ever. Good luck doesn't even fall in a fine drizzle, no matter how hard the nobodies summon it, even if their left hand is tickling, or if they begin the new day with their right foot, or start the new year with a change of brooms. The nobodies: nobody's children, owners of nothing. The nobodies: the no ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way. Who are not, but could be. Who don't speak languages, but dialects. Who don't have religions, but superstitions. Who don't create art, but handicrafts. Who don't have culture, but folklore. Who are not human beings, but human resources. Who do not have faces, but arms. Who do not have names, but numbers. Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the police blotter of the local paper. The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them." The Nobodies - Eduardo Galeano
