This year has been one roller coaster ride after another for everyone around the world including our partners, our supporters and our Lambi family. While the fight against the spread of COVID-19 in Haiti continued, we dealt with a huge loss. One of our dearest founders, Dr. Marie Marcelle Racine, transitioned from this world in July. We were heart-broken by this deep loss. Her DNA still runs through Lambi's veins as we press on and continue the great work that she helped to start and grow over 25 years ago. Dr. Racine believed in the Haitian people and their ability to succeed. Every time the road might seem a little bit tough, we remind ourselves of her resilience and conviction; we will continue to draw strength from her and our partners in rural Haiti.
The pandemic was certainly an unexpected surprise that took the world for quite a spin, but it did not stop our partners from moving forward in the field. With your support, we were able to take the necessary steps to reach out to our partners and their communities and provide them with the knowledge and tools needed to fight the spread of this disease. Handwashing stations were built, face masks were distributed, disinfectants were provided and a level of peace was restored in the minds of the people we serve.
We can all say that we hope to close this chapter soon, but surely we will not let it hinder our work in Haiti.
