Update from Haiti and DONATION MATCHING TODAY!

By Kate Marino | Project leader

Dear Friends of EIM,

This past week, Haiti announced that it has at least two confirmed cases of COVID-19. The government declared a state of emergency and closed its airports and borders - as well schools. We at EIM made the difficult decision to cancel classes for the time being as we wait to see how the situation develops.

Our students and teachers are still engaging in lessons digitally. But this is definitely a setback, coming on the heels of class cancellations last fall due to political instability.

As we all know, striving for education is a nonstop pursuit - no matter the circumstances. Regardless how long this closing lasts, EIM is committed to paying our staff and finishing the academic year, even if it takes a little longer and requires some unorthodox strategies.

You can help us make that happen by donating through our GlobalGiving page - and today, Friday, March 27, GlobalGiving will provide 50% matching on all donations up to $50!

Donate this week to amplify your impact!

With love and gratitude,

EIM
