As we close out another year, we wanted to take time to reflect month-by-month on the faithfulness of God toward our organization, even as we have walked through what was, without a doubt, the most difficult year Haiti Awake has yet to face.
In January we celebrated the 4th anniversary of the EEGC. Leading up to that special day, we did not know if it would be possible due to increasing insecurity in the area. But by God's grace, we were able to gather and celebrate.
In February, we were able to hire a new English teacher for Saturdays, David. We were able to do this because so many friends from The Bridge decided to partner with us in CCS.
In March, Becky and Hudson worked on new designs for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for Mission Made Jewelry before she had to leave Haiti, as the airport shut down.
In April, school was canceled due to insecurity, but because we have Starlink and solar at both locations, we could communicate with sponsors and help the children continue to learn from home.
We still schedule calls like this. For more information, e-mail Hudson at haitiawake@gmail.com
In May we celebrated our flag day together. We are proud to be Haitian!
In June, a series of incredibly events came together to make it possible for Steeve to have his US visa renewed - in Jamaica, no less!
In July, we said goodbye to Migerlson as his time at Kay Timoun came to a close. We were so proud of him and celebrated his departure with a party.
In August we organized a soccer tournament for the boys at the CERIMCOL prison, and we had summer camp with them.
In September, we went back to school, and we were able to help CCS parents get uniforms for their children.
In October, we celebrated Haiti Awake’s 10th birthday. Our theme was Remember to Remember.
In November, because of the generosity of a faithful friend, we had a special Thanksgiving meal together with the children in our community.
In December, we celebrated Christmas together with parties for CCS, as well as the staff and children of Kay Timoun.
As we look ahead to 2025, we continue to pray a Scripture that has guided us all of these years:
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
