On June 18, Lynden Kiwanis Breakfast hosted Mike Leland from Lynden, WA who, with his wife, Chris, have for over 17 years accomplished something extraordinary in one of the poorest countries in the world: Haiti.
Mike and Chris Leland first traveled to Haiti 30 years ago and were so moved by the need that they started New Generation Haiti in 2008. For 17 years they have been training, teaching, and establishing good Christian leaders with like-hearted compassion for their own people. They established three village partnerships; a home for 68 orphaned children and 10 dedicated adults; a medical clinic that turns nobody away; a history of drilling high-volume, solar-driven, agricultural wells; a Christ-centered church; a School of Ministry; affordable quality education for all grades, with school uniforms, books, teachers, and nutritious food serving over 1,500 students and paying living wages to 80 teachers and directors; and a transitional ministry for young adults when they turn 18. Visit www.newgenerationhaiti.org/ for all of the details.
Lynden Kiwanis Breakfast member Ed Hinkle, his wife Valerie and a small group of people from their church went with Mike to Haiti. Ed said each person was allowed two suitcases that were checked, one with their clothes and one with medical supplies or other things the Orphanage would need. Throughout the years a well was dug, buildings were constructed and 1000-gallon fresh, gravity-feed water tanks were installed. Eventually, generator power was converted to solar-power. When Ed and Valerie visited, there was a small clinic where a doctor would come once a week. Now they have a Medical care clinic that employs all Haitian doctors, dentists, and nurses and a Laboratory and Pharmacy, and nobody needing medical assistance is turned away. The orphanage is located just outside of a city and women's and men's transition schools have been created to guide students age 18 and older to integrate into the community and possibly onto university.
Perhaps New Generation Haiti mission says it all, "To come alongside the people of Haiti to help them help themselves attain a sustainable life in Christ, with a real hope for the future." Lynden Breakfast Kiwanis enthusiastically supports New Generation Haiti. … See MoreSee Less
We had a great time supporting the Fisher Elementary Family Fun Fair this yesterday!
I want to personally thank two of our amazing Kiwanis members, Brad Hubbard for representing the Lynden Breakfast Kiwanis Club so well at the event.
đ Nick ran a fun and energetic football toss game, complete with prizes for the kids he kept the line moving and the smiles coming.
đ Brad brought his creative talent and made balloon animals that were a huge hit with the little ones.
Itâs always a joy to serve our community and support local schools. Thanks to the Fisher PTA for hosting such a great event and to everyone who came out!
So what is this one-week camp with 71 campers and 55 counselors? Oh, and the 71 doesnât include the volunteers who help with all matter of kitchen duties, laundry, and fire watch which has nothing to do with fires! This adventure is called Camp Casey.
The Lynden Morning Kiwanis recently hosted Kate, a longtime volunteer with Kiwanis Camp Casey. For almost eight decades, this summer camp has provided an opportunity for children with physical disabilities â which is why 55 counselors are required â to gather for a week of campfires, sports, skits, themed meals, and so much more. Itâs no wonder campers and volunteers refer to camp as âthe best week of the year!â Camp Casey 2025 will be in full swing from July 27th to August 2nd at Lions Camp Horizon in Blaine. This year, over 70 kids between the ages of 6 and 17 will get to experience the fun, all free of charge thanks to generous funding from the Seattle North Central Kiwanis Club. The camp organizers are aiming for 55 volunteers to keep the camp running smoothly and safely. The Lynden Breakfast Kiwanis is proud to support Camp Casey with a financial gift and looks forward to sending volunteers to help out this year. If you are interested in serving, please visit Camp Caseyâs volunteer webpage to apply!
