Two very special paintings have arrived from Haiti, and we’re honored to include them in the ServeHAITI 2026 Iowa Fundraiser silent auction. Marc‑Alain Jean‑François's work carries not only talent, but a story of resilience, hope, and extraordinary perseverance. 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 Marc‑Alain Jean‑François was born on April 23, 2005. He lost both his parents at a young age, yet despite life’s many challenges, he has never stopped moving forward. He discovered his love for drawing in the fifth grade and has spent years practicing, refining his skills, and nurturing a deep passion for art. Today, Marc‑Alain is in his second year of Upper Secondary (NS2) at Kònillon Christian School. His journey is a testament to courage — believing in himself, developing his gifts, and honoring the talent God placed within him. We are so happy to showcase his artwork and support his continued growth as an emerging Haitian artist! Head over to the Iowa Fundraiser page to see his art and start bidding today. www.givebutter.com/c/ServeHAITI-Iowa-2026-Fundraiser/auction

It's Dr. Leo's birthday today! 25 years ago Dr. Léopold Bourgouin signed up to serve the Grand-Bois community as ServeHAITI Medical Director and we wouldn't be where we are today without his commitment to bringing health and hope to this community.

"The ServeHaiti fundraiser is a month away, and Harlan and I were recently asked to share our reason for being a sponsor for this ServeHAITI 2026 Iowa Fundraiser. My first trip to Haiti was in 2017 when I was fresh out of PA school. I returned again in 2018 and then Harlan joined me for a trip in 2019. When I first went to Haiti, I was 24 and wanted to change the world. I naively thought providing global healthcare was the way for me to do it. I now believe that changing the world looks a lot simpler. I’m convinced that small, everyday acts of kindness are often the most meaningful. If you can, please consider donating. The work ServeHAITI does is truly life changing, and every donation, large or small, makes a difference. And if you’re free, we’d love to see you at the fundraiser on September 26th." ~ Maddie Marie — a dedicated long‑term supporter of ServeHAITI For many years, ServeHAITI has held a special place in our lives. The relationships we’ve built, the work we’ve witnessed, and the community of Grand Bois have shaped our understanding of service in ways we’ll never forget. Supporting this mission feels natural because it’s personal — rooted in experience, gratitude, and a deep respect for the people we’ve met along the way. https://givebutter.com/c/ServeHAITI-Iowa-2026-Fundraiser

Today we celebrate Michelet Estime, ServeHAITI’s dedicated Health Center Administrator — and an essential part of our mission in Grand‑Bois since joining the team in 2022. Michelet is one of the steady hands and strong hearts behind the St. Vincent de Paul Health Center. From being part of team calls, to driving the truck to secure medications, to keeping our documents, partnerships, and operations organized, he ensures that our clinic runs smoothly and our community continues to receive the care it deserves. His commitment reflects the spirit of ServeHAITI, and his words guide us forward: “We have worked hard to achieve our mission, which is to improve the living conditions of the people of Grand‑Bois both in the areas of health, economic stability, education, and clean drinking water. So let’s stay engaged and focused because we still have major challenges to overcome together — and other large‑scale projects that are underway.” — Michelet Estime, ServeHAITI Health Center Administrator Please join us in wishing Michelet a wonderful, joy‑filled birthday in the comments below. Our team is stronger because of people like him!

Today, on International Day of Charity, we honor the compassion and generosity that sustain the people of Grand‑Bois. Every act of kindness — every donation, every volunteer hour, every shared message — strengthens the community and expands access to healthcare, clean water, education, and hope. ServeHAITI’s mission continues because people like you choose to care. Your support helps provide medical care to thousands, empowers families, and builds long‑term stability in one of Haiti’s most underserved regions. If you’re able, we invite you to join us today by supporting our ongoing work — whether through giving, volunteering, or simply sharing our mission with someone new. Every gesture makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Grand‑Bois. Your charity changes lives! www.givebutter.com/servehaiti-donate-now

We entered a photo titled “Life in Grand Bois” into the America’s Favorite Photo competition with the hope of winning $10,000 for ServeHAITI's mission. We’re asking our community to help by casting a vote for this powerful image using the link below or to share the link with friends, family, and colleagues to help spread the word. -> www.americasfavoritephotos.com/v/ppktt9 The photo being submitted shows a family of eight living in a small shack — a striking reminder of the challenges families face in Grand‑Bois, haiti. It was captured by ServeHAITI’s Organizational Director, Ron Apollon, during his 2023 visit. Life in Haiti continues to grow more difficult and increasingly expensive, and the people of Grand‑Bois are feeling the impact every day. ServeHAITI remains a lifeline for this community of 65,000 by providing medical care, clean water, education, and economic development. If you’re able to support ServeHAITI directly, please consider making a donation through the link below. Every contribution helps, and all donations are tax‑deductible. -> www.givebutter.com/servehaiti-donate-now Thank you for helping us uplift Grand‑Bois through your votes, your generosity, and your willingness to share this effort with others.

From the moment a patient checks in at the St. Vincent de Paul Health Center, to seeing our nurses and doctors, and finally picking up their prescription, the people of Grand‑Bois know they’re cared for. Our medical and administrative staff shows up every day with commitment, compassion, and a deep belief in building a healthier community. Happy Birthday to our Assistant Administrator, Fedelyne Israel Innocent - — thank you for your dedication, your hard work, bright smile, and 15 years of strengthening our team. #OneTeamOneHaiti

Froeschle Baked began out of pure curiosity. What started out as a little experiment with a sourdough starter quickly grew into lots of fresh baked breads and treats for friends and family. Soon people were asking for more. "I saw a beautiful opportunity to use my fun with baking to actually make an impact. Today, 100% of all sales from our sourdough baked goods are donated directly to ServeHAITI. I became aware of ServeHAITI over a decade ago through my husband who has traveled to Grand-Bois, and has seen firsthand the incredible impact the clinic has on this community. We have continued our support of ServeHAITI for many reasons. Specifically we appreciate that ServeHAITI doesn’t just offer temporary relief—they walk in long-term solidarity with the people in the community. By supporting sustainable solutions in healthcare, clean water, education, and economic development, I know our contributions are directly empowering families and creating real, lasting change that my own family has witnessed." ~ Kristin Froeschle, ServeHAITI's sustaining donor & advocate What began as a hobby has become a heartfelt way to support the families of Grand‑Bois. Froeschle Baked reminds us that fundraising and sponsorship can come from many places — creativity, generosity, and the everyday talents we share with one another. As we build momentum for the ServeHAITI 2026 Iowa Fundraiser, we celebrate partners like Kristin who show that impact doesn’t have to be complicated. It can start right at home, with flour, water, and a desire to help. More at www.givebutter.com/c/ServeHAITI-Iowa-2026-Fundraiser

We want to share a short video of a meeting held as part of the regular team meetings of the community health personnel, which consists of 23 members - 19 community health workers, 3 water technicians, and 1 supervisor. One of the highlights of the day was the signing of a new six-month contract, reaffirming ServeHAITI’s commitment to the people of Grand-Bois, Haiti. "We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to our generous donors for their invaluable support. Thanks to their continued efforts, ServeHAITI can keep providing essential services and helping to save lives within the community." ~ Josanor Solem Josue, ServeHAITI's Health Center Communications Manager Thank you, @josanor_solem, for this glimpse of your day at the Health Center.

Rainy season in Grand‑Bois typically runs from March through June and again from August through October. During these months, water becomes somewhat easier to find at local wells and springs — though never truly easy. For the rest of the year, many of these sources dry up almost completely, leaving families with limited and often unsafe options. Access to clean water is essential for every part of daily life, from cooking and drinking to maintaining good hygiene during health outbreaks. That’s why ServeHAITI has spent more than a decade working to improve water security in Grand‑Bois through well development, spring protection, and community‑driven solutions. Reliable water shouldn’t depend on the season. With your support, we continue moving toward a future where every family in Grand‑Bois has safe, consistent access to this most basic necessity.

As students across the U.S. return to school this week, families in Grand‑Bois, Cornillon, Haiti are preparing for their own academic year, which typically begins in late September or early October. Rural mountain communities often face delays due to weather, transportation, and resource limitations — but the commitment to education remains strong. Local schools serve hundreds of children each year despite limited infrastructure and challenging terrain. With support from partners and community organizations like ServeHAITI, these schools continue to provide essential access to learning. ServeHAITI’s Health Center supports students with vaccinations, wellness checks, and treatment for common illnesses — helping ensure they start the school year healthy and ready to learn. Alongside our clinic work, ServeHAITI has invested deeply in education across Grand‑Bois through our Teacher Training Program, which strengthened schools throughout the region. We’ve also helped rebuild local schools and improve learning environments so students have safe, functional spaces to learn. Our team continues to provide school supplies to children who often begin the year without the basics — notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and hygiene essentials. Your support makes education possible in Grand‑Bois. If you’d like to help students start the school year healthy, prepared, and confident, consider joining our monthly giving community and support our education programs. Every contribution strengthens a child’s future and the entire Grand‑Bois community. www.givebutter.com/servehaiti-donate-now

Whether building a Health Center, providing micro-financing, planting a garden, or providing training and resources to local schools, our goal is to provide a foundation on which Grand-Bois can keep building using its existing and developing resources.

This year ServeHAITI received the Candid Silver Seal of Transparency, last time we held the platinum level, and has earned a 3/4 Star rating on Charity Navigator. Candid’s data tools on nonprofits, foundations, and grants are the most comprehensive in the world. Only 5% of the more than 1.9 million nonprofits registered with the U.S. IRS earned a Candid seal of transparency. Candid considers transparency of information that the nonprofit shares with the general public using several metrics – finances, goals, program information, strategies, capabilities, achievements, progress indicators, people involved, and the difference the nonprofit is making – in order for a nonprofit to earn a seal of transparency. GuideStar Seals of Transparency was introduced in 2013 to provide visible recognition when a nonprofit shares information on GuideStar. The type of information a nonprofit provides determines which Seal it earns. The levels are: - Bronze - basic information so your organization can be found - Silver - program information and brand details - Gold - financials and people information - Platinum - goals and the difference you’re making Approximately 19% of all organizations with a Candid Seals of Transparency hold the Silver Seal and ServeHAITI is honored to be one of them! Charity Navigator is the largest independent charity evaluator in the United States, rating hundreds of thousands of nonprofits. It assesses organizations using a 0 to 4-star scale to help donors find trusted groups. Follow us for more updates at www.ServeHAITI.org

Two days ago, we welcomed Alberta Lozam, known on social media as Quenn Rubia Paulina, originally from Les Palmes and currently living in the Dominican Republic. She wanted to share something with the people coming into the Saint‑Vincent de Paul Health Center today. About 110 patients were at the clinic, and each one received something — a food kit, a hygiene kit, or cash assistance. It was a beautiful reminder that kindness multiplies, and when one person chooses to give, an entire community feels the impact. Thank you, Quenn Rubia Paulina! If you’re wondering how to give, it starts simple: show up, share what you can, and let compassion guide your actions. www.givebutter.com/servehaiti-donate-now

We were so happy to join the vibrant festivities at the 6th Annual Taste 4 Culture Festival (@taste4culture ) hosted at iLounge Taste the Difference in Marietta, GA.

For more than 25 years, ServeHAITI has been built by people who care — the community of Grand-Bois, Haitian staff, volunteers, donors, and friends like you. Some of you were there from the very beginning. Before the St. Vincent de Paul Health Center was built, before the roads became familiar, when we were still taking shape one trip, one conversation, one act of faith at a time. Grand-Bois may feel far away today. But the memories stay close, the people we met, the roads we walked, the warmth of the welcome, and the faces of children who were just beginning their lives. Some of those children are now adults — raising families of their own in Grand-Bois. Legacy giving is one way to help ServeHAITI be there for their children... and the children after them. We simply wanted you to know this option exists in case it feels meaningful to you. Find more at www.servehaiti.org/legacy-giving Your gift does not need to be large. A small percentage or a simple beneficiary designation can help continue work that has been built, relationship by relationship, for 25+ years.

We are so happy to share Dr. Marie Ange Ulysse's reflection on her work with ServeHAITI. We are fortunate to have her and we are so grateful for all she does alongside Dr. Leo Bourgouin and the rest of our dedicated medical staff, taking care of the Health Center's patients. "We are privileged to be part of the "Saint Vincent Paul" Health Center adventure with the conviction that better access to care can transform lives and strengthen an entire community. Over these years, we have gone through some particularly difficult times together: the earthquake, cholera epidemics, the COVID-19 pandemic and periods of instability in the country. Looking back on the journey we have taken, we feel immense gratitude. Gratitude towards our staff, our partners, and the communities who have placed their trust in us all these years. Today, we celebrate not only what has been accomplished, but also the hope that sustains us for the future. We believe that together, we can continue to build a stronger healthcare system for generations to come. Driven by hope and the conviction that every life matters, we will remain committed to serving the community, with the desire to make a lasting difference for present and future generations." ~ Dr. Marie Ange Ulysse, ServeHAITI Health Center Assistant Medical Director Dr. Marie Ange Ulysse was born in Cornillon, Haiti. She completed her primary and secondary studies in Port-au-Prince and then was admitted to the University of Santiago of Cuba, where she obtained her medical degree in August 2008. Thank you, Dr. Ulysse!

Today, we honor June 19th, a national holiday marking the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States—a day also known as Freedom Day. Juneteenth is not only a day of celebration but also a powerful call to action, it serves as a reminder that freedom and equality require continuous effort, urging each of us to advocate for change, support marginalized communities, and build a future rooted in justice and inclusivity. Haiti’s revolution and subsequent establishment of the #FirstBlackRepublic inspired many abolitionists in the United States. It’s a complicated and fascinating history that changed the trajectory of the United States forever.
