Class of 2026

On June 24, 2026, the Grade 12 students organized a special event to celebrate the end of the school year and honor the graduation of 30 members of the Class of 2026.

Student representatives delivered speeches thanking their teachers and school administration for their dedication, support, and guidance throughout the year. Plaques and certificates of appreciation were also presented in recognition of their service.

Students showcased their talents through songs and other performances, celebrating the school’s culture and promoting unity among their classmates.

A major highlight of the day was the final match of the inter-class football tournament, which added excitement to the celebration. For those who keep score: Grade 11 won the football match.

The event strengthened relationships among students, staff, and families and ended with a strong sense of pride. The school community is united, active, and focused on the future.

Pastor Delamy shared that he sees future leaders among these graduates. Through their organization and leadership, the class demonstrated maturity and teamwork, setting a positive example for the rest of the student body.

The Board of Haiti Foundation of Hope extends its congratulations to the graduates. Well done!

“We cannot be where we are today or serve in the way we do without God working through HFH’s supporters.” – Pastor Delamy

A Mother’s Day Celebration of Health and Hope

The opportunity shared below caused Pastor Delamy to say: “Things happening in Terre Blanche now — it is beyond my greatest dreams!”

The State Health Department in Gonaives had contacted the Clinic of Hope to ask if they would be interested in hosting a mobile clinic on Saturday, May 30, the day before Haiti’s Mother’s Day celebration.

This opportunity served not only as a celebration of the women and mothers but also as a meaningful acknowledgment of the Clinic of Hope’s success, strong reputation, and continued impact within the community.

The Health Department provided more than 30 staff members—including nurses, doctors, and lab technicians—as well as the medical supplies needed to operate this free clinic for women. They worked alongside the Clinic of Hope’s staff.

Pastor Delamy said this experience reminded him of the clinic weeks when HFH would send teams from the United States. Seeing the all-Haitian team, in partnership with Haiti’s Health Department, felt like a dream coming to life.

This special clinic was open to all women in the wider Terre Blanche area. Free pap smears, breast exams, and ultrasounds were offered, as well as teaching the women how to perform self-tests. Dental care and vaccinations were also available. Over 370 people were served and 175 received vaccinations.

Kudos to the staff of the Clinic of Hope for continuing to be noticed as a leading medical facility for the region! We rejoice with Pastor Delamy in how God is using the Clinic of Hope to touch lives in the name of Jesus.

Celebrating Nurses

Florence Nightingale is recognized as the founder of modern nursing and each year on the anniversary of her birthday, May 12th, nurses are celebrated all over the world.

Pastor Delamy shared these words of appreciation with the nurses who serve at the Clinic of Hope in Terre Blanche:

“Every day, you are the heart of the Terre Blanche Health Center. Whether tending to the sick, comforting the anxious, or educating families on preventive care, you consistently demonstrate what it truly means to care. Your resilience in the face of challenges, your gentle hands, and your vigilant eyes do not go unnoticed. 

This special day is not only a moment to celebrate the nursing profession worldwide but also to recognize your unique contribution to our community. You are the first line of hope and the steady presence that transforms a health center into a place of healing and trust.

Thank you for the sleepless nights, the kind words spoken in difficult moments, and the silent strength you bring to your calling. You are invaluable.”

We couldn’t agree more…Happy (belated) International Nurses Day!

Student Leadership and Flag Day

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

There is a Student Committee at Terre Blanche Schools made up of seven students from grades 10, 11, and 12 who are selected by the school staff.

In early May, Pastor Delamy met with the students to encourage them and remind them of the qualities and leadership abilities that earned them a place on the committee.

The committee members have several responsibilities, including serving as role models for other students and helping organize special projects and events, such as the Flag Day celebration held on May 18.

Pastor Delamy meeting with the Student Committee

FLAG DAY – MAY 18, 2026

This was the message shared on Flag Day: To raise the Haitian flag today is to remind all of us that carrying the flag is an important responsibility. It reminds us of Haiti’s proud history and the courage of our ancestors. At a time when the country is facing many challenges, the school in Terre Blanche wants to be a guiding light for the community. By honoring the flag, the school is helping students grow into future citizens who understand that Haiti becomes stronger through respect, hard work, and love for the country.

The Student Committee helped plan the Flag Day celebrations, beginning with raising the flag and pausing to think about and show respect for their country. Students proudly marched through the streets of Terre Blanche to show that education helps build a stronger and freer future. Through art, music, and public speaking activities, the students expressed their love for Haiti and the values it represents.

Lovely Dresses and Delicious Food

On a Tuesday morning in April, the students at the Women’s Trade School in Terre Blanche gathered for an evaluation by their teacher, Mme Alourde.

Each student made their own dress and prepared food dishes for this evaluation.

This evaluation is part of the three-year national program which includes: sewing, designing clothes, crafting, cooking with an understanding of nutrition, professional cleaning, raising children, decorating and entertaining. A national exam is taken upon completion of the program.

These women are learning skills that will open up opportunities in the future. We are encouraged by their dedication to studying and practicing the many skills they are taught.

Keep up the good work and we look forward to the next graduation!

Serving With Love and Compassion

In early April, under the guidance of Elvire and Dr. Montumaire, a group of volunteers visited the prison in Gonaives.

During this daylong event, over 700 inmates were ministered to. Two meals were served, hygiene kits were distributed and Dr. Montumaire oversaw a mobile clinic to treat the inmates.

The team also spent time in prayer in front of each room where prisoners are housed.

Elvire and her team served with love, compassion, mercy, dignity and respect.

Pastor Delamy was quick to thank the Haitian Leadership Committee and Yakima Covenant Church for their donation for this ministry.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”  Colossians 3:12

Medical Technology Brings New Hope

This winter, the Clinic of Hope welcomed a brand-new ECG machine – made possible by the generosity of donors like you!

Where once a patient suffering cardiac symptoms was simply left without a diagnosis or hope, today they may benefit from an electrocardiograph reading by trained medical professionals.

Pastor Delamy reports, “Dr. Montumaire and Dr. Dave complement each other very well for the promotion of health in the Clinic of Hope. We are praising God for that.”

Continuing to Dream Big

Twenty years ago, Terre Blanche in northern Haiti was a dry, underserved place with no potable water, electricity, education, or health care. Locals doubted things could change, but with faith, Haiti Foundation of Hope founders, Pastor Delamy, his wife Elvire, Joe and Linda Markee, dreamed big after the 2004 flood.

By 2007, the Clinic of Hope opened as a small dispensary. A 2008 survey identified key needs: maternal care, infant mortality reduction and malnutrition. Annual medical conferences began in 2011, growing from 30 to over 250 participants by 2019, filling a vital gap in continuing medical education. Additionally, HFH medical teams introduced didactic teaching sessions with the Haitian personnel following each clinic day.

The Haitian Ministry of Health took notice as the clinic expanded to a 24/7 clinic. In 2013, an HIV clinic opened, followed by tuberculosis treatment in 2016 – both with government-supported staff. The Clinic of Hope’s excellent reputation is known at Haiti’s highest levels, especially for the Markee Maternity Center.

Recent milestones include Dr. Montumaire becoming the medical director, hosting nursing students for practical training, launching weekly staff teaching sessions and establishing patient education clubs. In 2026, the Haitian Ministry of Health designated the Clinic of Hope as a residency training site for Haitian doctors and nurses.

We stand in awe of God’s work in Terre Blanche and thank all partners for their faithful support. Together, we continue to dream big and bring hope to this community.

Growth and Impact

“Giving our best for the poorest.”

This phrase has been a core value for Pastor Delamy and the work in Terre Blanche. As the Clinic of Hope celebrated 19 years of service on February 25, 2026, its growth and lasting impact on the community demonstrate this commitment and dedication.

Initially, the Clinic of Hope was designated a Health Dispensary by the Haitian Ministry of Health (MSPP). Because of its good reputation and excellent care, it was later designated a Regional Community Health Center.

Clinic of Hope in 2014

In 2013, the MSPP provided medical staff to open an HIV clinic within the Clinic of Hope. This was followed in 2016 by additional government-supported staff to provide regional care for tuberculosis patients.

Since June 2022, the Clinic of Hope has been designated a National Community Health Center with certification for overnight beds. This recognition reflects the clinic’s excellent reputation, the quality service provided by its staff and its comprehensive care, with medical personnel available 24/7.

In July 2023, the Markee Maternity Center was completed and dedicated with the mission of providing excellent prenatal care and facilitating safe childbirth. Funded by generous donors to the Markee Legacy Project, this center has been a life-saving blessing to mothers and babies in rural Haiti, where maternal and infant deaths and failure to thrive were once common.

Pastor Delamy says that God continues to send the right people with the right leadership skills. Dr. Avril was an early example of this—first coming through an MSPP referral and continuing as a longtime trusted physician at the clinic. Today, Pastor Delamy is very excited about the current leadership of Dr. Montumaire and Dr. Ortega.

Clinic of Hope today

In 2026, the Haitian Ministry of Health designated the Clinic of Hope as a residency training site for Haitian doctors and nurses. Currently, three nursing students and two resident physicians are doing rotations at the clinic. One of these physicians has returned to serve at the very clinic where she was once a patient.

The challenges in Haiti are many, but Pastor Delamy declares “HFH is the engine,” as our in-country partners trust God for wisdom and direction. HFH is grateful for our donors whose faithful and generous support provide medical supplies, medications and other crucial resources that allow the Clinic of Hope to continue fulfilling the mission of “giving our best for the poorest.”
