My friend and I had planned to go to Wings of Hope and ST Joseph's home for boys for a 4 day mission trip knowing we would come out of Haiti better then going in. Our visit to the 2 homes were during the food riots. We were very nervous about going during this time for our safety. We email... more

Michael and the boys maintain an oaisis in PAP! Michael is an excellent cook and an even better host. If you have an oppourtunity to attend a Sunday morning church service or see the boys show don't miss it! more

We stayed at St. Joseph's with a mission group in December. It was an amazing place to spend our week in Haiti. The facility was much more beautiful than we had expected - very tropical with incredible local art everywhere. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop at night. The views and the fresh breezes were incredible. The... more

the St. Joseph Home for Boys is a wonderful place to stay. It is the best alternative to overly expensive hotels in Port au Prince and nowhere else will you get to meet such wonderful children who once lived on the streets. the home is personalbe and love pervades every inch of the program. I would recommend any church group... more

St. Joseph Home for Boys is a home away from home. I loved visiting there as well as Wings for Hope and Trinity House. They all are special in their own ways and wonderful places to visit. If you visit these homes you will come back a changed person. I have been down to Haiti twice and I plan on... more

Wow! I had heard great things about St. Joseph's, Michael and the boys, but nothing compared to actually being there. The home is beautiful! Michael and the boys keep it very clean. The meals provided were absolutely delicious. Many nights our group sat up on the balcony enjoying the sounds of the city. It was very peaceful. I couldn't have... more

I stayed at St. Joseph's home for boys in June of this year and it was probably the most restful, nurturing place I've ever stayed in. I cannot imagine any place safer or more inviting. I felt welcome, protected and cared for. If you've ever doubted that there is hope in this world then visit St Joseph's. You will be... more

I think Michael Gellenfeld is doing a great job. St. Joseph's Home for Boys is a great place for the boys and for anybody who wants to have a great vacation. I was one of those boys. Michael helped me a lot. I would encourage anybody to stay there. It would help those boys a lot. I would like to... more

Our group has stayed at St. Joseph's on both our trips to Haiti in May '03 and May '04 and will stay there again on our next one. There were young women in our group and they did not experience any such activity mentioned in previous reviews and in fact were treated with great respect. The young people in our... more

I have stayed at St. Joseph's in the spring of 2001, 2002, and 2003. Each one of these visits have been life changing. St. Joe's has become a second family to me. I have learned so much from the boys there. St. Joe's is not only a safe place, but a friendly, family oriented place, where you can learn about... more
