Danielle & Curtis on a fort overlooking the ocean in Mole St. Nicolas, Haiti.
We are Danielle and Curtis Rogers and we work with Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. We moved to Haiti full-time in January 2008 to live in a community known as “The Bay” (La Baie des Moustique) and have an impact for Christ there by doing works such as teaching, community building, agriculture, and water projects among many other things.

Taylor you are definitely a nerd. And I am not happy you have cancelled diner plans with me several times now.
How is Willow not in your top 5 movies Curtis?
It is close but I had to leave it out with other classics such as “Point Break,” “Predator,” and the “Evil Dead” movies.
Danielle, what about NKOTB????
Dear Curtis and Danielle:
I have sent you a bit of information on planting trees in Haiti … and thought you would enjoy reading about it.

Hi mole St Nicolas is beautifult do you think there is big possibility of tourist develepement ?
Mole St. Nicolas is a beautiful place, and I do think that there could be a possibility of tourism there, however, I think that it will take many years of more “adventure tourists” before anything established happens. Also, I think the next Presidential elections will prove key in how Haiti can achieve political stability, which could then possibly bring in more tourists.
