A bit of ourObjectives
History
In 2009, Luis Morales, Pastor of Vida Real Internacional, began to embark in a journey in means of helping children whom lived in third world countries. Not knowing where this
journey would lead, he was presented with an opportunity to visit a Dominican-Haitian community in a town called Barahona located in The Dominican Republic. As he traveled throughout the community he witnessed the immense poverty that those of the community lived under. He was informed that the average person received about $2.50 a day working in the sugar cane fi elds. Amongst those in the community were about 265 children who were orphans. These children lived helplessly under these poverty stricken conditions and lacked the most basic necessities such as food and water. Compelled to help the community, he was able to provide food that would contribute to the health of the children. In addition to his travels, Morales was also able to visit another orphanage located in Haiti. This orphanage that housed about 100 children was also in much need for the most basic necessities in life. Pastor Luis Morales was also able to help feed these children. Additionally, the ministry Vida Real Internacional, decided to help the orphanage by sponsoring the children.Feeling compassion and empathy towards the children in need, he decided to continuously help the children, in means of offering the things that there community or country could not. In 2010, the massive earthquake stuck Haiti, leaving the country devastated and in need of help. Pastor Luis Morales travelled to Haiti in means of helping the local churches and orphanages. After witnessing such devastation in Haiti he was led by the lord to help the children of need in El Salvador and therefore founded Hearts of Life, the organization created in means of helping the impoverished in third-world countries. With headquarters located in Boston and offi ces located in El Salvador; Hearts of Life is determined to work internationally with others who share the same vision as Luis Morales. Currently in El Salvador, Hearts of Life is feeding about 650 kids in the local areas and is continuously working on improving the lives of other children worldwide.

Currently Hearts of Life is feeding 662
children from families who live in distinct
parts of the Santa Ana region. These
children were selected amongst a
large pool of other families, whom also
faced great poverty. Those families
whom lack accessibility to clean
water and whom have no location to
store their perishable food are those
whom face extreme poverty and are
the families that Hearts of Life seeks
to help. Each Month Hearts of Life
transports these families to the Hearts
of Life central offi ce in Santa Ana and
provide them with rice, water, beans
and other non-perishable goods for
their family. On occasions Hearts of Life
also donates toys to the children whom
are a part of these families and also
materials for their school needs.

The Future plans for Hearts
of Life consist of building
cabins, which will serve
to house our guests,
missionaries, and interns
whom seek to help the
organization.
In addition we seek to
build a facility that would
serve as a church and as a
conference area.
The church in Metapan has
mostly teenagers who go to
school, therefore no money
is coming in, but regardless
of the fi nancial crisis they
keep growing.

PROVIDING
HOMESFOR HOMELESS
Hearts of Life seeks to work
on projects that would provide
homes for the homeless. There
are many families in El Salvador
whom live in rural areas who
live under scrap metal and lack
the basic necessities that are
needed in a home. Therefore,
Hearts of Life continues on
seeking opportunities that will
be of a blessing to families who
do not have a home. We believe
that we can create a difference
in the lives of many by providing
the adequate shelter that any
family should have.
As of now, the mayor has
donated 90 lots of land worth at
least 4k each to start building.

with a local company that is willing to drill wells for $100
dollars a meter. The regular price with other companies
varies from $125 to $150. in adition, the city will pay for the
diesel. Our organization is committed to fi nd the help that
is needed to build these wells to provide clean and safe
drinking water to the people in need.
