Happy 2026!

It’s been a while (shocker, I know), but I wanted to come on and wish you all a happy 2026.

Since my last post, we have had another team visit here in Haiti. The two of them were here for a few days and visited several places. It was a very productive trip. As always, it was wonderful to see them. They were able to visit several finished construction projects that had been recently completed. While I visit these places often, it is always a blessing to see the joy that a new building can bring to a community. Two of the places they visited recently had new classrooms built. This means more children get to go to school!

We also continued on and finished up our Hope for Kidz travel season for the fall. We visit all of our schools twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. During these visits, we take new profile pictures for each student enrolled in our program, assist those who are writing thank-you letters, gather updated information on our students, enroll new students if necessary, and give any gifts sent from sponsors. I am so thankful for our sponsors who have allowed so many Haitian children to have an education again this year. Without your sponsorships, many of these children share that they would not be able to go to school at all. Education is something that I strongly believe everyone deserves to receive. Because of our sponsors, we always have a lot of work to do, and that is one of life’s greatest blessings because it means more children are in school instead of in the streets.

I spent a brief two weeks in the States over Christmas break. It was a pleasure to spend time with family and a few close friends. I used this time to rest and refresh for this new year. I have now been back in Haiti for a week. Thanks to a new flight that allows you to fly from Miami to Les Cayes directly (and vice versa), this trip was very smooth. My prayer is that this flight will also allow us to have more teams in the near future.

May you all have a wonderful 2026. May God continue to work in miraculous ways around us. May He continue to further His kingdom. May He continue to use me here in Haiti as He sees fit. And may He continue to bless you.
