Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for your support of the La Gonave Community Leadership & Development Center! Here's where things stand with the project:
On Saturday, January 18th, Rasin Devlopman held a ceremony to lay the foundation stone for the La Gonave Community Leadership & Development Center, officially breaking ground. More than 50 community leaders from all 11 communal sections of La Gonave participated, representing both municipalities. The ceremony was also attended by several local authorities, including Jacques Henry Filias, one of the three mayors of Anse-a-Galets, who spoke about the importance of this project for the community.
Immediately following the official groundbreaking, drilling commenced on the well that will, along with a rainwater collection system, service the Center. Drilling was completed on January 25th, then a perimeter fence was constructed around the site.
Since then, the Roots and Rasin teams have been working with the architects at Moun Studio to select a construction firm, with a planned start date of July! We will have more updates to share very soon, so stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Charlie Estes
Managing Director, Roots of Development
