This Year in Review is a group effort on the part of senior staff at Haiti Awake. There were far too many things to mention that happened in this year, but we worked together to find moments we each remember with great fondness.
We are so grateful that again at the end of another year we can say, “Glwa pou Bondye.”
O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them. Psalm 40:5
