Remembering Haiti today on the anniversary of the 2010 earthquake. When we look around the schoolyard in Terre Blanche, we can’t help but look to the future with hope. #haitifoundationofhope #rememberinghaiti

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

Throwback to the start of school and giving out class books and materials to students. Thank you to our generous supporters who make this possible. #haitifoundationofhope #schooldays #schoolbooks

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

We recently sent a small team to Terre Blanche to work with the 45 community health volunteers to evaluate the work they've done over the past 7 years and where to focus their future efforts. With Hurricane Matthew hitting the country last week, we saw once again how valuable these volunteers are.

The rain and wind brought by Hurricane Matthew has destroyed crops and gardens in Terre Blanche and the surrounding area. Food will be a struggle for a long time. You can help by donating to Haiti Foundation of Hope, which already has programs in place to address this and other basic needs.

Hurricane Matthew has left Haiti but not without causing significant damage. The crops in Terre Blanche and the surrounding area were all destroyed due to heavy rain and winds. Local crops and gardens are people's food source and livelihoods. Our local volunteers have distributed food to some of those in need. A medical team which was already scheduled to be in Terre Blanche this month will be arriving soon. We will keep you updated as we get more information. #hurricaneupdate #haiti #haitifoundationofhope #hfhvolunteer

It's been raining hard in Terre Blanche but so far everyone is safe from Hurricane Matthew. We are located in the northwest region of Haiti, far from the hardest hit areas. Local volunteers have delivered food to a number of people and the school remains open to those in need of safe shelter. #haitifoundationofhope #hurricaneupdate #haiti
