As we considered the ongoing troubles in Haiti, we decided that it would only be appropriate to use Courage as our theme for the year.  Courage, above all, of our staff, who must face the uncertainties of a gang-controlled city every working day.  But we want to highlight too, the courage that it takes for ALL Cité Soleil residents to look after their families in this fraught environment.  Risks must be taken day in and day out, and for the simplest of daily tasks.

Meanwhile, Lamp continues to provide both medical care and hope to those struggling families.  Lamp's goal has always been to be present, to accompany those who are struggling, and we have not flagged.  It has become harder than ever - courage required! - but the path is still before us.  

Kenbe fèm is what we wish our staff, our clients, and you, our supporters.  "Stay strong" and stay the path!
