Dear Friends of the Haiti Goat Project,
First and foremost, thank you for all of your support of the Haiti Goat Project. Your donations make our project possible and we want you to know how very much your support is appreciated.
Good news since our last report! The political unrest has subsided and, although schools remained closed during the month of December, our dedicated Haitian team was able to restart the Farm-to-Fork program and provide weekly Chili Kabrit lunches to the school children and their families that we serve at all 3 schools in rural Haiti. Lunches were served at school so although the children did not have class, they were able to at least receive healthy meals. This was a tremendous help for these families because the unrest during October and November prevented regular supplies from getting to their communities, leaving families at risk and food insecure.
In addition to providing healthy meals to the rural school children & their families, we were also able to assist an orphanage with 43 children with Chili Kabrit meals during the month of December. What a wonderful gift for these orphans!
Schools throughout Haiti have now reopened and our team will be continuing to provide 850 Chili Kabrit meals each week to the children attending the Jean-jean, Ticousin and Tiboukan rural schools. This could not have been accomplished without your support so THANK YOU!
Our goat herd is doing well. The males (bucks) were separated from the females in mid-December as our breeding season came to its scheduled end. All of our females should now be pregnant. Our new 2020 crop of goat kids will be due in March and April so we'll let you know when they start arriving!
Again thank you very much for your willingness to support this project. Please know that you are truly making a difference in the lives of many Haitian children and their communities.
With warmest regards,
Char
