✨2O23✨ Happy New Year!

We hope your Christmas was blessed and we wish you a new year filled with hope and purpose!

2022 HIGHLIGHTS

  • The PLH Haitian staff rose to the challenge of running the organization in Haiti without any US staff in the country. We saw the capability of Haitians when trained well, invested in, and empowered to lead.

  • Construction of the kitchen and fruit drying facility was completed.

  • The purified water station was constructed.

  • PLH was awarded a grant from UMCOR to help fund the construction of the PLH Educational Center.

  • Seven PLH staff attended a two-day leadership conference in Port-au-Prince.

  • PLH hosted soccer academy games.

  • PLH hosted two months of summer classes for kids in the community to learn English and artisan crafts.

  • A champion from Oregon taught an 8-week personal finance class via Zoom for PLH staff and local community members.

  • Laura Polynice, PLH Administrative Assistant, and her husband, Wahi, welcomed their first child, Jesher.

  • We celebrated the wedding of PLH staff member Wilson Emmanuel and his bride, Madlinie.

  • PLH employee Guy Destine and his wife, Jesula, welcomed their third son, Guy-Lensky.

  • PLH and 19 pastors from Camp Marie and the neighboring communities came together to discuss the current state in Haiti, its impact on the community, and how we can help the community rise above.

  • The staff celebrated another year with a staff Christmas party at the beach.

  • PLH hosted its 3rd annual Christmas Eve Candlelight service.

While 2022 held significant challenges, the achievements from the year, were all made possible through the donations, support, and generosity of the PLH community. Through all the PLH programs and projects, our mission is always to draw others nearer to Him. We are humbled by all that God has done in and through Project Living Hope.

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31
