There are a lot of memories that I carry from all of our years in Haiti. Some of my favorites are from the times I would get to go out with our staff on delivery days. Every single time I would meet families that were just buzzing because they were excited to get their filter. There would be a hive of activity as they gathered the water needed for installation, and lots of giggling and chatter as they saw the filter star flowing with water. They would tell me stories of where they got their water and why they were so excited for their filters, and they would thank me and our staff for the work we do as an organization that would mean they could be giving their family clean water.
It's easy for me to get caught up in the day to day stuff of helping to ensure Alexandre and our staff have what they need to keep going, but it's the people and stories that remind me of WHY we do what we do. The past 3-4 years have been so much more difficult for the people of Haiti than I have the words to express. Every filter that we can get into a home is a miracle in and of itself.
If you haven't taken the opportunity to give towards our Spring Matching Campaign, I would love for you to join us. Our Board of Directors has once again stepped up to accomplish something big by matching all donations up to $25,000 through the end of May. To give go to www.cleanwaterforhaiti.org/donate.
