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.

LifeHearts of

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.

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 fi nd the help that

is needed to build these wells to provide clean and safe

drinking water to the people in need.
