When we thought about what to share with you this week — it was hard to pick just one thing.

Should we talk about the 80 women starting home gardens for the first time in Saint Raphael this month? Or the growing team at our Maternity & Malnutrition Care Centers there?

We’re operating a whole campus many miles (and hours) from our headquarters—doing all the incredible things we do here, there.

It’s wild. It’s working! And we are so proud of all the amazing Haitian professionals making this possible—like Wilnie Desamours—Saint-Raphaël’s brilliant Garden Manager.

Or, we could talk about one of the families at the Malnutrition Care Center and the incredible progress they are making. There are at least 50 families going through our recovery program at any given time. Each one has an amazing story.

We have so many photos of parents taking part in literacy classes and art therapy. Should we talk about these activities, and the power they have to impact the well-being of families for generations to come?

Then there’s my favorite photos from the week.

Photos of Second Mile psychologists, Dacheline and Magdalie, sharing the story of Yaya with children at the center.

We could talk about the Cap-Haitien born author, Angie Bell, and why books in Haitian Creole are so important. Or what a miracle it is that these children have the strength to engage, to sit, to interact—considering how sick and frail they were just weeks ago.

It’s our 10th year operating programs in Haiti, so that theme is also on our minds. It’s been 10 years and 1 month since the first Malnutrition Treatment Center opened in Cap Haitien. We could mention just how thankful we are for all that has come from that one desire— to keep children out of orphanages

…to keep families together.
