Haiti here we come.....

Wait. Haiti? Yes, you read that correctly. We've had way too many things fall into place the last month that it has been impossible to ignore the potential Open Hand has to partner with a well known, long standing non profit in Haiti who would like us to take on their micro loan program. From finding a woman, training her, interviewing potential borrowers to scouting out the market place. We have 3 days to do it and we are jumping in.

As of this date we have gotten our largest donation so far but are believing for much MUCH more. The party we are having on May 18th - we are looking to bring in $10,000 between the silent auction and donations. God willing.

So a month from today, we will board a flight going in the completely opposite direction we had ever intended to see if Open Hand can partner with this organization. As of now it looks like it will be Alisha and me but we really would like our husbands to meet up with us but we aren't sure if they can pull it off. One of these days they will come with us and see what their wives are up to!
