    Our last episode of Season 1! Thank you so much for joining us as we share just a little of Haiti H2O. We are wrapping up the season with some final thoughts about where our organization has been, and where we are going, especially in light of not being able to visit our Haitian partners in person.

  • What is Success?
    Aug 11 2023

    How do you measure a non-profit? Do you look at the projects that are done, how much money is donated and where it goes, or what the staff looks like on paper? Do you find the people or group the non-profit is helping and make your opinions on their well-being?

    We asked our co-founders and the members of Friendship Community Church the question, "How do you define success for Haiti H2O?" Today we are sharing their answers with you.

  • Falling in Love with Haiti
    Aug 4 2023

    We are feeling the love today! We hope that the previous episodes have been able to show that through building relationships and sharing life with our Haitian partners, we find ourselves completely smitten, not only with the people but also with the culture of Haiti. Our lives are shaped for the better by knowing our partners in a deep and meaningful way. Listen to co-founders Doug Bradbury and Jeff VanderMolen, and Friendship Community Church members Laurie Hurt, Johnnie Comer, Sue Randall, Amanda Willingham, and Jenelle Kemerer as they share they're stories with us.

  • The Haitian Connection
    Jul 21 2023

    Long before Haiti H2O came to be, our founders named their trips to Haiti 'The Haitian Connection.' That name alone encompasses the heart behind the relationships that have been built over the past 2 decades—the connection to our partners in Haiti is the number one priority. Today, we will be joined by co-founder Doug Bradbury and Friendship Community Church Members Alisson Alerte, Alex Randall, Carmen Lee, Kim Daelhousen, and Laurie Hurt as they share stories of the connections they made or saw in Haiti, and of the amazing understanding our partners have about building community.

  • "It's Not Cholera!"
    Jul 14 2023

    We are veering away from our usual episode format today to talk about Friendship Community Church's 2011 trip to Bassin Caiman. As we talk about this wild ride of a story, we will see the trip participants lean heavily on all the lessons we have been talking about so far. It was difficult, it was humorous in hind-sight, but it definitely wasn't cholera.

  • You're Sick...Now What?
    Jul 7 2023

    We are taking you farther into the everyday lives of our Haitian partners and discussing healthcare in Haiti. There are no doctors or medical facilities in the remote part of the country where our partners live, and the leaders in each community do what they can to take care of each ailment. Listen in as we discuss the measures our partners have taken and what they are working towards for the future. We are joined by co-founder Doug Bradbury, Board member Tom Boyer, and Friendship Community Church members Sue Randall and Amanda Willingham.

  • Easy as ABC...D
    Jun 30 2023

    In the non-profit world, ABCD is much more than an introduction to basic understanding. Asset-Based Community Development flips the narrative of support from a hand-out to a hand-up. Haiti H2O strongly holds to the belief that every single person on this earth has something to contribute to the well-being of their families and communities. Listen as we talk about the wealth of assets our Haitian partners have opened our eyes to through the years. We are welcoming back co-founder Doug Bradbury along with Friendship Community Church members Sue Randall, Burr Settles, Marc Portnoff, Kim Daelhousen, and Laruie Hurt.
