Today we celebrate the strength, creativity, and resilience of women everywhere—especially the incredible girls and women in our community in Jacmel, Haiti. 💛

At ACFFC, we believe in empowering young women through art, education, and opportunity. Every brushstroke, every lesson, and every dream pursued helps shape a future where girls grow into confident, compassionate leaders.

On this International Women’s Day, we honor the women who inspire us, guide us, and remind us that kindness, courage, and creativity can change the world.

Here’s to strong girls, powerful voices, and a brighter future. ✨

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day 💛

At Art Creation Foundation for Children in Jacmel, we see every day how simple acts of love can transform lives, uplift children, and strengthen communities.

✨ We challenge you today: do one intentional act of kindness. Encourage someone. Give generously. Show compassion. Make someone smile.

Kindness is contagious — let’s spread it everywhere!

dlo… this is the Haitian word for water.

Water is something that most people reading this post don’t really even think about. You turn on sinks in multiple places inside your home or work or school and water just comes out. For most of our students however this is not the case. Water comes from wells that they walk to daily or is collected in containers, carried and dispensed from buckets. This is why the news that our building has running water is so significant! We recently added a water purification system and now this water can be accessed from the sink in our kitchen! What a marvelous experience for our kids to take advantage of, and it’s only possible because of the donations from many of you!

We hope next time you find yourself at a sink and the water is flowing out, you’ll take a moment to be thankful for this small blessing! ACFFC continues to provide for our students because of your support. Mesi • Thank you!

⭐️TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT⭐️
I am Gilot Geatjens, I am Executive Director in Haiti of ACFFC. I began working in this role in 2021 and love the work the foundation does for the community. By working at ACFFC, I learn and share a lot of things, with the staff we work as a team, everyone is respectful and love each other, for the kids they understand me, love me and learn how to respect others. I think the students will describe me as someone they can enjoy time with, but someone they respect and obey. I am someone who have respect for them also and someone who listen to them because that is very important. Haïti is a lovely country with so many natural resources. We are crossing a critical period with our students facing many difficulties. ACFFC makes everyone feel our lives is matter.

Gilot helps to ensure that our foundation runs smoothly and can be a refuge for our students and staff. He is an example each day of the importance of hard work and responsibility. Show him some love in the comments below ⬇️

I am Resia Antoine, I am one of the employees of the ACFFC. I am only one of two people to work in the kitchen of the foundation, since it was started in 2002. The foundation went through several locations before it became the location it is today. Sometimes there are other people with me in the kitchen, but I am the only chef in the kitchen today. I consider myself a mother to the children, I love them, and they love me too.
We have created a big family through this foundation; and I am so thankful. While working for the foundation I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I didn’t have enough means to take care of it; thanks to our founder Judy, I was able to get treatment and I am now healthy for many years. Thank you to everyone who contributes to making this foundation continue to exist. Because you give, I am able to do what I love and feed our students every day.

Resia is an important part of the ACFFC team! She provides the only meal that some of our students have each day. She is steady and strong, providing a wonderful example to our young people. Show her some love in the comments below ⬇️
