June 2017: Visiting the US!

What an amazing month June has been for Tree of Hope Haiti, in Haiti and in America! Read the blog below to find out more!

We spent the first week of June preparing for our 2nd Annual TOHH Meet and Greet! We even made cokiyols (Haitian donuts) for those who attended the event!

The Meet and Greet was a huge success! We are so grateful to the Event Committee for all their help with organizing the event!


The guests enjoyed dinner and dessert - thanks to those who brought food to the event! Guests had the opportunity to explore a variety of tables that were set up, including an informational table and raffle table. There was also a table set up where guests could purchase art from Haiti or a Haitian cookbook!



We heard some amazing stories from those who have sponsored a child, been on a mission trip to Haiti, or have supported Tree of Hope Haiti in another way.








We also had the privilege of giving gifts to those who have played a major role in our growth as a nonprofit organization.

We were so happy to see past missionaries, supporters, child sponsors, TOHH partners, and some new faces! Thank you so much to everyone who attended the Meet and Greet and played a part in putting on the event!!

At the Meet and Greet, we also officially began our Buy-A-Block Fundraiser!! Each block purchased through this fundraiser will help build the TOHH Pavilion and the surrounding wall. This pavilion will be used for summer camp for our sponsored and community children, health seminars, discipleship classes, men's and women's Bible study, and more!


We are offering three levels of giving for block purchasing:

Block: $10
Column (10 blocks): $100
Section (90 blocks): $900

We are offering the option of writing an signature on your block(s) as well!

While in America, Angela and Gama visited two churches, South Athol Methodist Church and The Erving Evangelical Church, and shared the Tree of Hope Haiti story!









This June, we have been building the pavilion with the funds we have received so far! We are so happy with the amazing progress that has been made! We hope to have the pavilion finished as soon as possible to ensure that we are able to use it for as much of this year's summer camp program as possible.

This June, it was our privilege to attend the graduation ceremony for Preschool 3 and Filo (last year of high school)! We are beyond proud of the six of our sponsored children that graduated from Preschool 3!!










Way to go, Lucienne, Demas, Rose Carmele, Cassandra, Damaniel, and Wadley!!







Happy Birthday to our sponsored children with June birthdays!! Before sponsorship, many of our sponsored kids may not have known their birthday, and most likely did not celebrate it.







Thanks to your donations, we were able to throw a party for them this month, complete with cake and gifts!



We had three children receive sponsors during the month of June! Thank you to Tonya for sponsoring Taina, Zoe for sponsoring Miguerlande, and Brandon for sponsoring Woobeska!! You are making all the difference in the lives of these children!








Several children received gifts and letters from their sponsors this month. They are always to grateful, and happy to know that their sponsor is thinking about them!

Thank you so much for helping us make June a success!! We simply could not do what we do without your support!
