B the Hope for Haiti provides humanitarian aid to Haitian children through satellite schools, meals, medical clinics, and construction projects. They bring donated supplies from Canada on missions to feed, teach, and care for underprivileged children, as well as build facilities like bathrooms and a storefront. The photos show volunteers treating illnesses, distributing food and water, and teaching programs to help break the cycle of poverty in Haiti.
The fifth grade Kids Care Club has developed a personal connection by adopting a school in Haiti: Dumarsais estime de Port au Ceil. Through project Operation Water Well, Sope Creek will be able to bring running water to this school. The water crisis in Haiti was worsened by the recent earthquake and Sope Creek students want to help.
Sope Creek Elementary is partnering with H2O for Life (www.h2oforlifeschools.org) to help make this possible. Every penny raised by our students will be matched by Save the Children and 100% of the money we collect will go directly to digging a well at our adopted school.
The Kids Care Club will be collecting donations on March 3, 4, & 5. Parents can make tax-deductible donations by writing a check directly to H2O for Life Schools, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
La Gonave Community and Child Association (LGCCA) was created by a group of friends following a visit by the founder to La Gonave Island in March of 2012. Ailsa Young, an RN from Vancouver, BC, had been invited to visit La Gonave Island by Jean Rony Toussaint, the Chairman of a Haitian grassroots charity ASHOG while volunteering at a hospital in Port au Prince the previous year. Her testimonial from that visit can be viewed at www.helplagonave.org. Upon return to Canada LGCCA was formed and given Non Profit status. The application for Charitable status is in progress.

In rural Haiti, we work collaboratively and with humility to preserve the dignity of our neighbors. The newsletter describes various dimensions of our learning. Most notably, this past year was the collaborative implementation of solar powered pumps to bring water closer to a mountain community.
The biggest roadblock to the successful realization and deployment of humanitarian technologies is: Not involving at every level the local experts and end-users; not studying and appreciating the locally-available technologies and skills, and not knowing the terrain - the map is not the territory. Our small team was fortunate to have enthusiastic learners, Haitians and visitors, willing to take risks and test out ideas. For our organization, "If Pigs Could Fly -Helping Hillside Haiti," the principal goal is the shared learning. Not to discount the material benefits to the community, it is the learning that will endure.
Long after the PVC has crumbled, the solar panels need repair, and the steel gives way, it will be this shared learning, the experience, the participation in construction, that will endure.
The newsletter summarizes our various efforts to learn and share in Haiti.

The presentation is about frugal innovation. Its about how innovators can innovate their product to serve the volume markets. One challenge is how high value and high margin brands create products for volume markets and low margin markets. The presentation reduces the complexity of the concept and dwells on the discussion on brand innovation and brand translation in frugal markets. Typically firms operating in frugal markets end up positioning themselves as poor mans product, thus labeling an individual are poor. This strategy can backfire, on the other hand using unethical methods of marketing products to marginal markets can stigmatice the whole industry. Thus product developers have to be critical and thoughtful while innovating for low margin markets. One fine example for frugal innovation is Life-boy soap and Nirma washing powder.

Dominican Starfish Foundation overview 2023.pdfLouise ZoBell
This is a brief overview of the activities of Dominican Starfish Foundation working to help those suffering in poverty in the Dominican Republic. We work in 5 areas, Shelter, Food and Clothing, Health and Wellness, Education and Employment.
Here's a slide show of where we started, what we've done and where we are headed. Join us as we continue our efforts as we bring healing to children around the world, one a time.
6. Each meal is divided into many generous portions to feed the second wave, the
children of the neighborhood not able to be in a school…they will go days without
food…
Like the loaves and the fish, a blessing for all.
9. Its hard not to question building codes and safety standards…
10. Half of all Haitian
children are malnourished
and only half of school age
kids will go to school. A
chance at a good education
can break the cycle of
poverty for so many.
11. Our little girl. Over a year after the surgery we provided her, she is
thriving. Such a joy to see her shy little smile and watch her grow.
12. • We saw these twins
everyday outside the
main school, Its hard
to say who they
belong to but they
seemed to be fed and
illness free. They
melted our hearts…
13. The Canadian funded bathrooms. After a brief setback (the rooftop water tank was
stolen and had to be replaced) it is fully functioning, including shower. It is a joy to see
our little students coming out of the washroom with smiles and dignity. They have
been taught the importance of washing hands.
14. The main school compound from the outside. To the right you can see the
cement roof box built to protect the water tank. To the left of the red gate is
the room that will house the new store front.
15. Pastor Augusto Chavez. A Peruvian with his
ministry in the D.R. he is our friend and mission
leader. The schools were built by his hand and
his love for the Haitian Children.
16. • Feeding the many,
Dedra has now
moved from the U.S
to D.R to follow
Gods calling for her
to serve the Haitian
people.
18. This little guy was treated for an upper respiratory infection.
19. A severe case of impetigo, a common and often untreated infection. We
treated this poor little girl both orally and topically and hope to see a happy
healthy baby in a few weeks.
21. This is just a portion of our pharmacy made possible by meds donations from
friends and family or purchased care of Fernhill Schools , Burlington Christian
Academy and St Raphael Catholic school.
22. The ‘Trekker', saving lives by providing safe drinking
water to so many. Kindly provided by Global Medic and
financed through the generosity of Senator O'Connor
School (Tor) and St Luke School (Oak).
Water from
the well before
and after using
the trekker
Incredible !
23. • Hundreds of shoes
found thankful feet
care of kind
donations. This little
guy cant believe his
new Adidas!
24.
25. Mixing the concrete for the continued construction of the new storefront. Behind is
the security window installed for the sale of clean water and bread. This wonderful
project, when complete, will supply clean water for sale where it is normally difficult
to come by, subsidize expenses of the school and teach valuable skills to our students.
26. The inside of the new store front with the door to the new well in the rear. We have
not yet completely financed the project but have come so far thanks to the generous
donations from Empower Global, Holy Rosary Men's Club, Sunshine Building
Maintenance and so many friends and family.
29. Teaching and implementing the
world geography program. The
children were so excited by the
awesome new resources.
30. Talking to teachers and parents about
following Gods plan for love and
commitment in the family, positive
child rearing, being financially
responsible to family. Understanding
how commitment to one partner can
keep them safe from Aids was a very
popular topic…
35. Our youngest missionary face painting the boys before they come for
treatment of fungal infection common on boys heads.
36. Life in Haiti is hard. Most live on less than $2 a day and will eat less than 1
meal a day. The country has hundreds of thousands of orphans, many who
are alone on the streets. Sometimes it is more than our hearts can take….
37. A blessing to have captured this picture. We spotted this girl as we drove by,
wearing one of the dresses made by the ladies at TLC and donated on a
previous mission.
40. We are so thankful to all our Dominican and Haitian friends that
keep us safe!
41. Prov. 31:8 “Open your mouth for the dumb, for the rights of all
the unfortunate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and
defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.”
