Second Mile Haiti was recently named as a finalist for the prestigious .ORG Impact Awards! 🏆
These awards recognize and reward outstanding individuals and organizations making positive contributions worldwide.
We are SO grateful!
Jenn and I are heading to Washington, DC now to meet the other finalists and receive this recognition on behalf of our team.
There were more than 900 applications/nominations for these awards and ultimately just 35 finalists were selected across 7 categories.
While we’re here, we wanted to tell you that it’s not too late to listen to Paulette’s Story on our new Podcast, Haiti Rising: Tales from the Second Mile!
We want to thank everyone who listened and shared feedback. So many of you said you enjoyed the immersive experience and the sounds of Haiti popping in and out of the scenes.
Based on your listens, you’ve put us in the Top 25% of podcasts! We may only have 10 ratings now, but hey, that still makes us a 5-star show!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Special thanks to all of you who did the 5K. It’s officially becoming an annual event and we can’t wait to MOVE with an even larger group of you in 2024.
The good news is, you won’t have to wait a full year for a new episode of Haiti Rising: Tales from the Second Mile. The podcast episodes won’t be stopping here!
There are just too many special people waiting to meet you and too many stories waiting to be told.
We plan to release a new episode monthly, on the first Friday of every month, which means you can listen during your Saturday hike or your Sunday ride—or even while you’re mowing the lawn or cleaning the house.
How will you know when a new episode is ready for your ears?
If Apple Podcasts is your listening platform of choice, go to the Haiti Rising info page and tap the + sign in the upper right corner. If Spotify is where you listen, simply hit the follow button.
Today’s final announcement is this:
Black Friday is back! Every year, as a collective, we spend the Friday after Thanksgiving getting our centers set-up for the new year. We spend an entire day shopping in Haiti and stocking the shelves with the medicine, infant formula, and more, that YOU give via the Holiday Giving Catalog and we purchase from local businesses.
You’ll see some new items in this year’s catalog and some items that we will actually build and install at our Centers on Black Friday.
In a few hours we will be getting ready for the .ORG Impact Awards Ceremony. Again, your support is why we are being acknowledge as one of the world’s best non-profits this year.
We can’t thank you enough for walking with us on this journey.
❤️ from Haiti
