Happy Thanksgiving from ATI

If you've ever wondered where the shirts you donate end up, sometimes they end up in Haiti. Most people there wearing donated clothes with English phrases don't know what is written on their chests. I enjoy seeing what's written on our kids' shirts;  it often brings a smile to my face. I'm 100% here for the way this message is driven home by a girl surrounded by her schoolmates, looking at the camera with a matter-of-fact expression.


Enjoy the pictures below. Because of your generosity, we're able to provide these kids with a safe place to learn and grow; so much so that Piton has become a safe refuge for victims of gang violence in Port-au-Prince. What a testament to the hospitality and generosity of the people of Piton and Piton West!


Wishing you peace throughout this holiday season!


Grateful for you,

Katherine

Aid to Infrastructure


Each one of you is part of the body of Christ,
and you were chosen to live together in peace.
So let the peace that comes from Christ control your thoughts.
And be grateful. 
Colossians 3:15 CEV

Pray for Haiti

By Katherine Harrison • 07 Mar, 2024
This month marks the 10th anniversary of Aid to Infrastructure; tomorrow to be exact. A decade ago, Tom and I traveled up an impossibly beautiful, quite steep, and inhospitably rugged-to-vehicles mountain to visit Samuel Pamzou's village. He wanted us to visit because his village needed healthcare. When we arrived on foot, we found the village-center community school with it's roof in the floor. That moment is when Tom and I silently committed to create Aid to Infrastructure and build a life together. Today, we're watching our adopted country burn. Literally. I don't need to post a news story here because you will see plenty in your news feeds. It's been important to me these past 14 years of being involved in Haiti to focus on what's right in the country and the good we can do; because it's all too easy to find reports of what's wrong. Our friends on the mountain are relatively safe due to their remote location. But it's foolish to pretend they aren't affected. Today I feel a dissonance between my desire to promote our new sponsorship program and the other good things happening in Piton and my distress at what's happening in the broader country. We have ATI family in the U.S. and Haiti. Those of us in the U.S. feel helpless; and it's hard for me to imagine what it's like being in country. Please keep Haiti in your prayers for mercy and anything that resembles peace. If a solution exists, it won't be a simple one -- and can only be achieved with the help of our Lord Abba. Please prayerfully remember the plight of the ordinary, law-abiding people of Haiti who are caught in an untenable, violent situation. Thanks for being here,
