The students in the Women’s Trade School spent the summer making face masks. This was a great way for first-year students to learn basic sewing skills like cutting fabric, threading needles, and using a treadle sewing machine. These women are making a difference in their community. #haitifoundationofhope #tradeschool #treadlesewingmachine

Hunger and starvation are profound in Haiti right

Hunger and starvation are profound in Haiti right now. Malnourished children are everywhere, not just in the impoverished and rural communities that HFH serves. Recently, mothers came from all over to receive help from the Clinic of Hope for their malnourished children. They received Medika Mamba, a fortified peanut butter, for their sick children as well as a large bag of rice to take home and share with their families. Thank you for donating to life-saving causes such as these. #haitifoundationofhope #profoundhunger #meetingneeds

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

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

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
