History
In 2009, Luis Morales, Pastor of Vida Real Internacional, began to embark in a on a mission to aid children that live in a third world country . 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 town he witnessed the immense poverty that the citizens were coping with. He was informed that the average person received about $2.50 a day working in the sugar cane fields. There were about 265 orphan children that lived in that community.These children lived helplessly under these poverty stricken conditions and lacked the most basic necessities such as food and water. Compelled to help the town Barahona, Pastor Morales was able to provide aid for the orphan children and the poor.
In addition to his travels, Morales was also able to visit another orphanage located in Haiti, which housed about 100 children, but lacked the most basic necessities to sustain life. Pastor Luis Morales was also able to help feed these children and with the help from the congregation of 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 orphans around the world, by offering things like food, water and or clothing when their communities or countries could not.In 2010, a massive earthquake stuck Haiti, leaving the country devastated and in need of help. Pastor Luis Morales travelled to Haiti in means of helping local churches and orphanages. After witnessing such devastation in Haiti God inspired him to aid children in need and therefore founded “Heart of Life.” This organization’s sole purpose is to help the poor and devastated all around globe. With headquarters located in Boston and offices 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 families who
are facing great poverty. Hearts of Life
seek to help those families that lack
accessibility to clean water and that
don’t have a location to store their
perishable food. Each Month Hearts
of Life transports these families to the
Hearts of Life central office in Santa
Ana and provide them with rice, water,
beans and other non-perishable
goods. On occasions Hearts of Life
also donates toys and school materials
to the children that are part of these
said families.

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
who live in rural areas, in shacks
made of scrap metal. These
families don’t have the basic
amenities that are needed in
a home. Therefore, Hearts of
Life continues on seeking and
making opportunities that will be
of blessing to these struggling
families. We believe that we can
create a difference in the lives of
many by providing the adequate
shelter that all families deserve.
As of 2012, the Mayor of the
city of Metapan has donated
3,600 acres of land to start the
building process.

than the wells built 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 find the help that
is needed to build these wells to provide clean and safe
drinking water to the people in need.
