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 fields. 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 offices 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.

FeedingtheNeedy Life

Hearts of

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 office 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.

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.

In El Salvador, building wells have a different process rather than other wells in other countries. Hearts of Life works 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 find the help that is needed to build these wells to provide clean and safe drinking water to the people in need.

support hearts of life but require updating and remodeling.
