Konbit Pou Pòtapiman sends you her best wishes for the New Year and expresses her sincere appreciation for your support over the past year.
2010 proved to be a difficult year for all our countrymen. The January 12th earthquake, the cholera epidemic, and political violence were among the many challenges our beloved Haiti had to endure during this tumultuous year. Again our sympathies go to the many families who were victimized by these horrible events.
Despite the confusion and chaos caused by these events, Konbit Pou Potapiman, did not waiver. Our focus remained on the goals that we had set for the year. We are happy to report that more than 80% of our goals have been met.
1- Thanks to your support, we have been able to enroll 24 disadvantaged children in our scholarship program ( https://portapiment.com/?cat=16 )
2- We strengthened our relationship with two non profit organizations. Our partnership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority South Broward Alumnae Chapter of Florida USA has allowed us to distribute school supplies to more than 100 impoverished students aged between 6 and 17 in the county of Port-à-Piment.
