Alex's House welcomes Dominique Levy!



Alex's House welcomes Dominique Levy as our new Life Skills Director of Alex's House! In 4 short days, Dominique will pack her belongings and say goodbye to family and loved ones as she heads Haiti to reside at Alex's House.  She will be responsible for overseeing the implementation, instruction and coordination of the Life Skills Program for Alex's House. As a native of Haiti, Dominique is familiar with the Haitian culture and language as she grew up in Haiti until age 13, then moved to the States where she has raised her family of 4 children and 3 grandchildren.  Haiti was once a part of her past; however, the Lord called her back to Haiti this past summer when she and her daughter spent a week serving with Alex's House on a short-term mission trip.  During that week, the Lord impressed on her heart to return to her native land to assist in the Lord's work at Alex's House among our children and staff. She leaves behind her leadership position at the Head Start program of Aiken, South Carolina and carries with her a wealth of knowledge from her former career that will be a valuable asset to our ministry.

Dominique will help empower our children and the communities in which we serve and give them a brighter future, by providing and building life skills through early childhood development activities starting now and continuing until they leave Alex's House.  In doing so, she will work closely with our children to identify their strengths and weaknesses while mentoring and challenging them to be the best they can be. Our current ministry vision will be strengthened and enhanced significantly. Dominique will also implement and oversee quality control policies and practices for the day-to-day operations of Alex's House, where her on-site presence and leadership will be a great blessing and asset to our Haiti staff and children.  

Dominique is raising her own support through her church family and friends, and we ask you to consider supporting her financially and in prayer.  Please visit our "Staff" page at www.alexshouseorphanage.org and follow the donation links under Dominique's picture. Please join us in covering her with prayer as she adjusts to her new home at Alex's House  . . . what a gift she is to our ministry!  "And, I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns!" Philippians 1:6 

Alex's House is thankful for Dominique's willingness to answer His calling!
