A Season of Gratitude and New Opportunities

 Well, what a year! It has truly been a remarkable one!
And our toughest one yet...

However, the gift of your care, partnership & support, has enabled Frontier Projects Haiti to continue to radically change the lives of all our sponsor children, orphans, students, families and staff!   Thank you!    So much gratitude! 
​

Like most of us, our leaders, families & children in Haiti - led by Reginald and Johanne Celestin from LIFIMinitries have experienced challenges that they could have never dreamed of.
​For them all, the year was so much tougher than what we experienced in Australia.

​These are just some of the obstacles our teams over there faced (& overcame) 
... as the year now comes to a close:
  • Survived the year of Covid19 that caused schools, businesses & trading to close, across a nation that was already in the grip of endemic poverty. 
  • Made it safely through one of the more violent years in Haiti's recent history - which has been fraught with protests, riots, kidnappings & worse.
  • Survived a dramatic exchange rate fluctuation that devalued the US dollar by half within 30 days leading to business instability throughout Haiti - that still continues.
  • Continued to support our 13 staff, 160 students, 45 Love Community children & orphans, & 8 trainee mums across our multiple Programs at Bouvier & in Carrefour with food, employment, training, educational support, schooling, social-worker support, monthly home-visits & community gatherings with safe social-distancing.     
  • Provided our Love Community families & children with training in hygiene, mask-wearing & sanitation practices.

Our 2020 News!

Bouvier School  Teacher Training & Feeding Program 

Picture

During Haiti's Covid19 lock down, Bouvier school teachers enjoyed the opportunity to do further teacher training. Their passion for teaching was re-ignited!. We employed a Haitian trainer and the teachers truly appreciated the extra training and were ready to start the new school year safely (in October) and looking forward to a fulfilling and positive 2021.

Bouvier School Feeding Program returned when school resumed because of some very generous donations...thank you! We continued to provide hot, nutritious meals, twice a week, for all the students and staff. 

Love Community: Re-Uniting Children with Families & our Support Programs

Picture
Through the incredible support of Michael Crossland, & you - our sponsors, we have re-united more children back with their families! We've now returned 45 of our Love Community (LCH) children back into their own homes, through our Love Family Homes program (LFH). Our 10 orphans/displaced children in LC Home, attend school & are cared for in a warm, loving family home.
Picture
Supporting our children not just to attend school, but to monitor their literacy skills, our social worker - Yndjy Belval & our Programs Administrator, Johanne Celestin, started meeting with the children for literacy checks on a monthly basis. The children are growing in confidence!
We also believe it's necessary to give the children other types of Fun Days as well, during such a serious time! We did this in 2020 -  creating life long memories!

Libellule Training Academy (LTA).  Transforming Lives ..even during Covid

Picture
Libellule means "dragonfly" in French - the symbol for transformation! It was incredible that the From Zion LTA sewing course could continue due to our group of mums being small! These LFH mums were able to continue to learn sewing skills, creating some very professional garments. The women enjoyed their creations and had a lot of fun modelling the garments. Sandra Alexis - their trainer - is a well known seamstress in Haiti and we are blessed to have her heart and passion for LTA sewing class.

A Journey of Joy - in a tough year!

Picture
This year Alyssa Barber, our Co-facilitator of Programs and Robin Brown, both from the USA, flew to Haiti once the travel ban lifted.  Although we were unable to host a 2020 Journey from Australia , Alyssa & Robin were able to represent FP and complete vital tasks and host the children to a very special Fun Day during their stay! We sponsored our special FP Fun Day trip to the beach for all the LCH children! This day included a boat trip, which was the first boat ride for most of the children and brought so much laughter, huge smiles and special memories!


​That's our News in a Nutshell for 2020... 
A HUGE YEAR!
With our loving thanks to Reginald and Johanne Celestin (CEOs, LIFLIM) and Yndjy Belval our social worker... and to all our staff across all our programs!

Thank you again to all our sponsors, for the role you have played in changing lives in Haiti this year! 

We are so grateful to you all and wish you the absolute best in this new season ahead. God bless you all!
​See you in 2021!

Cheryl and John Ward
and the Frontier Projects Team & Families
