There is a saying in Haiti: “NAN MOVÉ, OUA KONNIN PI BON ZANMI.” In the hardest time you will know the best friends. #haitifoundationofhope #hardtimes #bestfriendsarethere

Before social distancing, a motorcycle for two was one of the creative ways that staff at the Clinic of Hope reached a sick patient who lived where there were no roads. With a clinic worker driving and a nurse on back, that’s what we call teamwork and sharing hope. #haitifoundationofhope #nursingskills #bringinghope

Throwback to our first Instagram pic... This is Katie Thom, a nurse who has been traveling to Haiti since 2008, with kids from Terre Blanche. We are excited to announce that Katie is our new board president. She has been a board member since 2015. She is on the medical committee and has a special interest in the community health program. Thank you to former board president Larry Moore for his many years of dedicated service. He remains active as president emeritus. #haitifoundationofhope #dedicatedservice

We’re sad to announce that the 2020 medical conference in Terre Blanche that was scheduled to take place on April 18 has been postponed due to the current COVID-19 health crisis. We will provide an update on a new date when we have one. Read haitifoundationofhope.org for more info or to learn how you can help. #haitifoundationofhope #haitimedicalconference

COVID-19 health precautions are taking place in Haiti. Handwashing bucket stations have been placed inside and outside the Clinic of Hope. These stations have also been placed outside the gates where women are selling food. #haitifoundationofhope #handwashing #communityhealth

We’ve been learning more about the damage caused by last Saturday’s earthquake. There are cracks in walls and some people’s homes were destroyed. For this woman, the walls of her home collapsed. Learn more at haitifoundationofhope.org.

We've learned that several people with injuries caused by the earthquake have been treated at the Clinic of Hope since Saturday. These patients came from Gros-Morne, a city not far from Terre Blanche and where news reports say buildings were damaged and people were injured. We are grateful for the consistent medical care available at the Clinic of Hope. We understand that these patients, and all the rest, are being well cared for by the staff there. #haitifoundationofhope #standingwithhaiti

This past week, your generous donations made it possible for 224 people to receive care packages. Among the items given were food, soap and a bottle of a water purification product. Here, Elvire explains how to use the water product. We are so excited that so many people received these gifts. It's an early Christmas in this rural area of Haiti. #haitifoundationofhope #earlychristmas

A picture to brighten your day... 13-year-old Rosemyeth shows off her coloring in a book donated by Blessings International. One of our recent team members handed out the books, which give tips for healthy living and are in Creole. The team member had the children return to read the books to her and then asked them to go read to others. This is exciting to know children are reading and teaching in a place where once there was no education. #haitifoundationofhope #kidsreading #blessingsinternational #coloringbooks

There has been recent heavy rain and flooding in the north part of Haiti. We are glad to report that things are well in Terre Blanche and the surrounding region. We are keeping those in the affected area as well as those recovering from last month's hurricane in our prayers. #raininhaiti #haitifoundationofhope

Following Hurricane Matthew we were able to provide funds so that the youngest students at the school could get breakfast in addition to lunch. Breakfast is spaghetti, a favorite morning dish in Haiti. Thank you to everyone who has donated during this time. #haitifoundationofhope #hurricanematthew #schoolbreakfast #spaghetti
