THE SCOTTISH HAITIAN FOUNDATION
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
Matthew 25:35

Robin & Emma Harvey - Founders
Robin was born in Paisley, and began his working life as a carpenter before spending 20 years offshore as a commercial diver. He later returned to the construction industry and now balances this with part-time work as a marine safety officer, alongside running the charity.
Emma was born in Paisley on the west coast of
Scotland. I went to school in a small village called
Lochwinnoch and then Johnstone high school
and finally Portree high on the Island of Skye. Robin
and I met when he was working on the Isle of Skye
during the summer of 1998. We were married in
2005 at Overton House,Dumbarton. I found my
faith in God in my early 20`s and I have always
seeked God`s hand on my life. I have my step son Daniel, who I have brought up with Robin since he was 7, we then adopted our daughter Fern in 2008, we fostered our other daughter Dallas at various points in her life. In 2010 I gave birth to Kate Esther Harvey and two years later I had Neve Grace Harvey.
Fern Harvey
Robin and Emma's daughter Fern, decided to go to Haiti and work with the Ocean Project on marine conservation as part of her summer job whilst studying Marine Biology at Aberdeen University. She worked on rescuing and rehabilitating sea turtles. Fern enjoyed her time in Haiti and spent some time teaching English to the Haitian people.
