Since we are unable to gather together as community during this Holy Week, we want to bring community to you in the ways that we can to be present to one another in faith and spirit during this difficult time.
Following Christ's example, our Louverturians serve others at LCS and in the Santo 5 community at LCS each and every day by sharing their knowledge. When they return to their homes, they do the same for their families and home communities.

Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. (John 13:12-15)
Today on Holy Thursday, we remember Jesus gathering his friends together, washing their feet, sharing a meal. His service of washing the feet of his disciples demonstrated limitless kindness and love, rejected societal norms and hierarchy, showed humility, and calls us to go and do the same for others.
This Holy Week, let us serve others in all the ways that we can. Pray for those who are in need of prayers. Visit the lonely with a phone call or note. Remember our brothers and sisters around the world, including in Haiti. Give charitably as we are able.
Though we may have the physical boundaries of our homes, the love of Christ for us knows no boundaries. Let us follow His example and love and serve likewise.

THP invites you to join the community to virtually pray the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, April 10th, led by THP Staff and LCS Campus Minister Amanda Haluga. If you would like to participate, please email us at development@haitianproject.org for information to join. All are welcome.
A Note from The Haitian Project
We understand that these are challenging times and that many people are confronted with significant hardships.
But this is precisely why we still have to ask and pray that those who can give, will. Our teachers and staff in Haiti rely on our support; and we are going to be there for our 360 students whenever schools re-open. Please give today if you can.
