Bill Hathaway has done it again. He’s coaxed, reminded, nudged, edited, and nudged some more. Today we can announce our 2024 Annual Report is out. You can see it on our website: www.haitireforest.org.
Check out the reactions of Animators to the violence and gangs. Read my take on what we have done and what we have endured. Take a look-see at the section on Haiti Reforest “By The Numbers” and much more. You will be glad you did. It helps a lot to have one place to read overviews because the daily and weekly reports of activity doesn’t weave the full story together.
I want to take this moment as well to tip my hat to Bill Hathaway. Bill has been the Board Chair for the past four years and has been a tremendous supporter of Haiti Reforest for over two decades. His dedication, long term view, and insistence on bringing people together have helped steady the ship. He pulled us out of a truly dire financial squeeze as Haiti was shutting down, COVID hit, and donor visits were suspended. I’ve learned a lot from him and simply want to give him a big shout out. THANK YOU, BILL.
The annual report is also not possible without the graphics and production help from Sharon Wiegand. She is a pleasure to work with and has the eye to set up the report so that it draws people in and keeps them reading. THANK YOU, SHARON.
