Every dollar we receive, we maximize by finding ways to leverage your donations. How? We partner with local volunteers, government agencies, and NGOs that commit to matching donations or putting up the remaining funding and resources we need. That means for every dollar you raise, we can use that donation to double your impact.
Happy Independence Day! While we celebrate July 4th with fireworks and parades, Honduras and Haiti have their own unique customs.
Honduras gained independence from Spain on Sept 15th, 1821 along with the 5 other Central American countries. They celebrate by marching a torch through each country and passing it on at the borders. Schools celebrate throughout the month with parades, lighting torches and traditional dance performances.
Haiti gained independence from France on January 1st, 1804. Along with fireworks and street dances, they have a tradition to make and serve homemade soup! During France’s rule of Haiti, the soup was considered a delicacy and forbidden to the slaves. Since Independence in 1804, Haitians have enjoyed this comforting soup as a historical tribute to Haitian Independence Day, and to celebrate the world’s first and only successful slave revolution that resulted in an independent nation.
