Right now, we are talking with someone that has 7 years experience working with a big organization as their Director of Development. Eric and Megan were able to spend some time with her on the phone yesterday, and the call went great. She has lots of experience in Haiti... and our vision is the same-- to actually change lives, we have to do more than give hand-outs! yes, immediate relief and aid is necessary and has it's place... but we've got to something more. If we just give things away, people become reliant on us. What happens to them when we are no longer able to give them things? They will fall apart. They will slip right back down to where they started. At Leve Project, we believe we must focus on empowering people so they can become self-sufficient.
The Board of Directors will have a phone conference next week to further discuss how we can fit our new contact into Leve Project.
God really seems to be opening a lot of doors for us and showing us that He is with us and in control. We are excited to see the BIG STUFF He has coming our way!
