Fundacion Pequenos Hands, FPH

Value Proposition:

Our main international operations serve the marginalized children and seniors of Santo Domingo Este, who need access to basic education, healthcare, nutrition, and hope for a future. We provide academic enrichment, meals twice-per-day, and spiritual/emotional support for these students. We offer structure, stability and consistency which promotes self-confidence, trusting relationships and competency. In contrast to the vacationer who passes by with promises they never fulfill, we support the benefits offered by short-term missions. Beyond that our organization engages communities over the long-term and we establish mutually beneficial relationships.

Director’s Statement:

I was actually very comfortable being the Senior Pastor of a small community church in Roosevelt Long Island. The Roosevelt Bible church is a part of a national movement known as Evangelical Free Church of America or EFCA.

We had a ranch style 3 bedroom house in a comfortable suburban area of Hempstead, a block away from Hosftra University which we called home. It is owned by (RBC) the church, where I and first lady Phyllis lived until the LORD chose to call her home to glory in August of 2008.

In the fall of 2008, I returned to visit Haiti, I was invited by Pastor Harris the president of an independent Baptist Mission in Port Au Prince and in Creve, near Bombardo Polis, NW territory of Haiti called the forgotten land by people in the city. There were 4 different hurricane to hit Haiti that year. It was a food mission Trip. I purchased a few thousand dollars of Rice and other essential to share with a few church members and the school in Creve, Haiti. I remember that that trip cost me a little over $4,000US of my own funds.

In June of 2009, I organized a trip inviting 8 others to join me to visit "the forgotten land" of Creve Haiti. This time though it was a medical mission Trip, where we were able to conduct medical clinic for a week, thanks to our Nurse Practitioner, a friend of my sister Maureen along with a Cuban Doctor we met in Port Au Prince.  We took so much medication, that our military Medic, Hopeton Thompson and wife helped set up a Pharmacy for both the Mission and community there.

In 2010 I made contact with someone in Santo Domingo who would purchase my ticket for me to visit Cuba that same year.  A few years before, I had a dream that I was on the NW side of Cuba and there were much ruins from centuries ago. In that dream, I saw mirage would rise as the sea waves come in and hit against the large rocks. As I stood with my mouth wide opened, the Holy Spirit ask if I knew what that was, I responded that I didn't know. He said it was the prayer of Castro going up, referring to the mirage. 

 Before going to Cuba, I had a Salvadorian pastor help me to start a Spanish church within our church. He was helpful in making connection with a pastor Joaquin Diaz of Cotoro, Havana, Cuba. He and his church agreed to be my host on a 8 day mission trip. Everything had to be planned each day until I returned thru Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.

In 2013 I got my incorporated Licensee as Fundacion Pequeños Hands. Today, I am accomplishing my goal to share the good news of salvation mainly to the children and young adults and some seniors. There is a school and a Large Summer Camp every year since 2013. When we first started the summer program we were averaging 275 children per week.
