Hope for Haiti

Read a free children's book online today and help young people whose families are still recovering from the earthquake in Haiti. We Give Books has joined forces with author and illustrator Jesse Joshua Watson, creator of the new book Hope for Haiti, and together, we aim to donate 5,000 brand-new children's books to young people served by served World Vision's Early Childhood Development Learning Spaces across the country.
Jesse Joshua Watson's inspiring story for young people artfully presents the life of a single child who is himself recovering from the day last January when the earth shook, and his whole neighborhood was gone. Now he and his mother are living in the soccer stadium, in a shelter made of tin and bedsheets, waiting in line for food and water. But even with so much sorrow all around, a soccer ball inspires a small but powerful link between a heartbroken country's past and its hopes for the future.
Read Hope for Haiti, or any book at We Give Books and help share a brand new hardcover or paperback book with a child served by World Vision's Early Childhood Development Learning Spaces.
World Vision serves close to 100 million people in nearly 100 countries around the world, Following the Haitian earthquake, the organization's initial response was focused on emergency relief: More than 800 Haitian staff as well as a dozen international disaster response experts responded immediately throughout affected areas. Together, they rushed more than 18 metric tons of basic relief supplies to the quake zone, focusing on distributions for families and providing food, clean water, and emergency medical care.
Today, with basic needs slowly being met, World Vision is now expanding their efforts in Haiti to include services and supports most of us take very much for granted, including the care and education of many of the country's most vulnerable.
World Vision's new Early Childhood Development Learning Space Program provides an immediate, safe, and consistent environment for children whose families are still recovering from the earthquake. We Give Books will be providing books and other learning supplies to these centers and to the families they serve.
We Give Books continues to support World Vision's Haitian Early Childhood Development Learning Space program.
