​Philanthropic Children's Charity

Pick It Forward For Orphans in Haughton, Louisiana, is a children's charity that is dedicated to improving the economic, physical, medical, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs of vulnerable children locally and around the world. 
   
Mission Trips
​On an ongoing basis, teams of missionaries go to Trisker Orphanage, a rural orphanage in Boquete, Panama.  The mission teams do amazing work, to include, painting (you can see the beautiful colors on the walls in the picture at the top of this page), providing critical medications to prevent healthcare issues, construction projects, vacation bible school activities, cooking, devotions, activities with the children, singing, and relationship building with those that care for the children.  Funds raised by Pick It Forward for Orphans support these mission trips by purchasing supplies for the children and for projects so that the teams can be the face, hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
