Great news everyone!! I have been able to make huge strides with Save The Children, thanks to Phillip Horne and Paul Charlton!! We have been approved for 18 tents for the tent city and our staff in Haiti!! We are currently working on beneficiary lists for all these people, and STC is very interested in helping us secure tents for most of our Haitian partners, as well!!! We are hoping to get those lists created by mid-week, so that everyone can have tents to sleep in by next weekend. I know the rains have come, and the conditions are unimaginable. I have been working 14-16 hours a day, networking, emailing, calling, texting and reaching out to everyone. It is paying off and I wanted to share the amazing news with all of you!!

On a personal level, Geoff and I have been meeting several times over the last week and discussing People In Need Partnerships future. We believe the time is now to restructure a few things, and improve a few things, and take PINP to the next level!! The need is massive, and what we are doing is so powerful and so tangible. By affecting one person positively, we are affecting several people involved with them. We have the ability to reach hundreds of people, and eventually, thousands of people!! By providing hope and stability, by encouraging education and growth, by involving ourselves on a personal level- we are giving the people of Haiti the ability to dream again. We all need dreams in order to grow, and we all need to grow!! I have accepted an offer from Geoff to become a Director, and will be working with Cajuste and all of our staff in Haiti to improve and implement all programs, new and old. We are all very excited for the months to come. I invite any emails from any abroad partners that wish to share their concerns or comments, feel free to email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) !!!

Thank you!!
