Dear friends,

In a year of such vulnerability, hardship, and change we’ve found inspiration in the example of our partners in Petit Trou de Nippes.

In Haiti, people often use the phrase "cheche lavi." Literally, this means "to look for life" - to seek progress, momentum, and hope in the face of the most daunting challenges. This year perhaps more than ever, our work has been about just that - looking for life.

On the enclosed card you’ll find a link to three specific stories from the year. Take these snapshots of hope, multiply them out across a community of 36,000, and you’ll see the future we strive for in Petit Trou - one where local leaders have the resources they need to drive progress.

With a continuing food crisis, longer dry seasons, higher costs for basic goods, and ongoing political unrest, the situation in much of Haiti continues to be dire. We are grateful for the perseverance of our leaders in Petit Trou, and grateful for your continued commitment to their work. Please know your generosity makes a real and lasting impact.

Thank you for continuing to invest in these extraordinary grassroots leaders as they develop and cultivate their communities and families.

Petit Trou is fertile and sacred land - we are grateful for your belief in what is possible there.

With hope for 2021 and with gratitude for the gifts we’ve managed to uncover together this year,

Wynn Walent
