The community health program based in Terre Blanche continues full steam ahead. You will remember that in 2009, the village committees decided on three major health issues to focus on: childhood diarrhea, maternal health and child nutrition. During the first year of the program, the community health volunteers were trained on water, sanitation and hygiene, [...]

Dear Friends,

With the holiday season upon us, we want to take a moment during this busy time of the year and say THANK YOU. Your support and encouragement for Haiti Foundation of Hope makes our work possible and is improving the lives of people living in Haiti.

Here are a few highlights of what’s happening in Haiti:

CLINIC ANNEX – This coming year will mark the fifth year for the Clinic of Hope. Since its opening, thousands of patients have been seen by visiting medical teams and by the Haitian staff who work there year-round. An annex has been constructed to provide more space for offices and patient care. The construction is still being completed but the annex is far enough along that it’s already being used.

SCHOOL – The school in Terre Blanche, which is open to students in pre-kindergarten through 11th grade, started classes again in September with enrollment at 866. Students continue to receive a hot meal each day. We are so grateful for the wonderful and caring staff at the school.

COMMUNITY HEALTH – We continue to work with Haitian volunteers who are part of the community health program operating in Terre Blanche, Dubedou and Finel. These volunteers sacrifice their time to help their neighbors and friends and are making a real difference in the health of individuals and their communities.

Other things we saw this past year were medical teams continuing their work at the Clinic of Hope, 15 women graduating from the women’s trade school, people receiving assistance through micro-loans and the clean water project, and people being encouraged by the local churches in Haiti.

GIFT CATALOG – Join us this holiday season by viewing our online Gift Catalog and purchasing items such as food or making a contribution to support individuals such as students, teachers and clinic staff. You can purchase gifts as a year-end donation, give a gift in honor of a friend or family member or give a gift in memory of someone. You can also download a printed Gift Catalog and Order Form.

We encourage regular donors to use this opportunity to give an additional gift this holiday season and for others to consider a first-time donation. You may find projects or people you wish to support all year long.

Again, thank you for all your encouragement for the people of Haiti.

Sincerely,

All of us at Haiti Foundation of Hope
