HAL CLEVELAND
I first visited Haiti in the summer of 2003 as part of a mission team from Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in Acton, MA. I went to “keep an eye” on my son Matthew, who was only 16 at the time, never anticipating the profound effect this trip would have on my life. I have been visiting the orphanage regularly ever since and now serve as HFC’s chairman. My goal is help keep alive the dream of our founder, Marion Austin, which was to make these children self sufficient in Christ and to empower them to truly make a difference in their country’s future.

BILL AND KANG HENSON
We have served on the Board of Directors of HFC since 1998. Our first trip to Haiti was in 1996, when HFC was a one room building with just six children. We travel to Haiti annually and are in the process of adopting Daniel (15) and Steve (12). We have two other children, Anna (7) and Andrew (4). Bill previously served as HFC’s Chairman.

SHARON LEROUX DANIEL
I first became involved with HFC in the summer of 1997 when I took my first trip to Haiti with Marion Austin and a team from Grace Chapel. After that time, I volunteered on different fundraising activities and traveled to Haiti with several mission teams. In 2000, I became a member of the Board. To me, the ministry of HFC means ministering to the physical and spiritual needs of the Haitian children, who in turn can reach out to the people in their own country in the name of Christ.

MARIANNE LANGSTON
After learning about HFC, my husband and I started sponsoring a child at the orphanage. I later organized a mission trip with Free Christian Church and fell in love, not only with the girl we sponsor, but all of the children there. I am excited to be on the Board where I can make a difference in the lives of the wonderful children in Haiti.

DOUGLAS AND NEILANI SIMPSON
As members of Hope Christian Church in Winchester, MA, Doug and I have been involved with HFC for ten years. We became more actively involved in 2005 when I took over the child sponsorship role. In 2006, we adopted two of the HFC boys, Paulkenson and Ephesien, and became members of the HFC Board.

ARMAND AND KATHY BERGERON
Kathy and I first became involved with HFC in 2006 through the referral of a friend. Since that time, we have visited Haiti and the children at HFC on four different occasions. Our family is currently in the process of adopting five Haitian children. The children at HFC have truly been a blessing to our family.

MEG NAM
I first connected with HFC as a high school student on a Grace Chapel mission team. Being struck by the work of God in the lives of the children, I returned to Haiti a few times during high school and worked as a volunteer in the HFC office, and later served as the Ministry and Development Director for HFC. I earned my BA in psychology and math education in 2003 from Swarthmore College and am currently working toward my MS in Counseling and Clinical Health Psychology at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
