    Lack of Resources

    by Yahoska Rivas, Softball Coach

    "The project has come to innovate and it has been great for the economy of our families and food security of the children. We are very grateful for the help, even despite the pandemic."

    by Claudia Guillén, community resident

    "All of the equipment and financial support has made it possible to help kids in Rivas. Without Helping Kids Round First, it wouldn't be possible for my players to reach their dreams."

    by Johnny Alvarez - Coach,Working for a Dream Academy

    "It's not just the community that benefits from the equipment but also the surrounding communities."

    by Emperatrice Velasquez, Pastor of Lutheran Church

    "Piti piti zwazo fe niche li"

    Little by little the bird builds its nest

    Haiti Alive is a nonprofit organized to serve God and to bring hope, health, and happiness to the people on the island of LaGonave, Haiti. We convey the message of Christ through the areas of education, healthcare, and ministering to those in need, especially women, children, and the elderly.

    Dr. William & Hello Doctor coordinate medical care through two clinics.

    There is a shortage of medical care across the island of LaGonave. The medicine and care provided through our clinics are truly life-giving and life-saving.

You can provide medicine, salaries for staff, and transportation for mobile clinics through our healthcare programs.

    The goal of the Haiti Alive Village is to provide a hand-up for women by constructing simple homes, allowing women and their families to move away from difficult living settings, and providing women equity by owning a home and property.

  • My Life in Broadcasting by Quent Neufield (Getting Started at KELO Radio in 1958)
    Sep 21 2024

    Public Affairs Director Jon Michaels (since 1977) talks with Bee and Quent Neufeld about his book "My Life in Broaqdcasting: Growing up in Minnesota". Quent also gave us a recording of news, weather and sports of his 4 years at KELO AM radio in Sioux Falls in 1958.

    From Amazaon.com: Book My Life in Broadcasting by Quent Neufield

    From a Minnesota farm to global news: Unveiling a 44-year broadcasting journey, with a front-row seat to world events. Discover the risk, thrill, and stories from CBS News producer's travels.

    My Life in Broadcasting is an engaging memoir that takes you on an extraordinary journey from a humble Minnesota farm town to the global stage of broadcasting. It is a rich tapestry of experiences that gives you an insider's view into a career spanning over four decades in the dynamic world of news production. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a CBS News producer, highlighting the challenges, triumphs, and the inherent risks associated with covering news in some of the world's most dangerous places.

    The author delves deep into his formative years in Minnesota, reflecting on his childhood dreams and the unsuspecting comment about his big city radio voice that would change the course of his life forever. It is a story of dreams fulfilled, underpinned by resilience, hard work, and an insatiable curiosity about the world.

    The narrative further navigates through the author's time in radio and his transition to television, offering readers a unique perspective on the evolution of broadcasting over the years. The story unfolds, revealing the author's experiences while covering major news stories, traveling to over two dozen foreign countries - from Haiti and Colombia to the icy terrains of Antarctica.

    The author's concern for his crew's safety while working in hazardous locations such as Panama and the Philippines adds a layer of raw, human emotion to the narrative. This book not only chronicles his professional journey but also mirrors the changing landscape of global news coverage.

    My Life in Broadcasting is more than just a memoir; it is a testament to the power of dreams, the pursuit of passion, and the impact of one voice in the vast world of broadcasting. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in journalism, broadcasting, or simply an inspiring life story.
