In the past half a year we haven’t posted often but so much has been happening. The most important update: we have voted our Haitian colleague, Fresnel Desauguste, to be the president of the Board of Directors for One Hundred for Haiti. This makes Fresnel in Haiti a main guiding voice for the strategy and […]
Something to be VERY thankful for: for the last few days (and until we reach thirty days total) One Hundred For Haiti be posting a photo a day taken of our recent successes in Haiti. Our friend Tom Hudson has been on the ground to document where your donations have gone. The photo album is […]
