The founder and CEO of Angels for Humanity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing education and opportunity to underprivileged communities, recently announced a halt in their plans to build a school in Haiti. This decision comes as a result of the ongoing flight bans to the country, which have severely hindered their ability to carry out their mission.
In a video addressing supporters and donors, the nonprofit founder expressed deep concern over the impact of the flight bans on their work in Haiti. With limited access to the country, the organization is unable to effectively coordinate with local partners, secure necessary supplies, and ensure the safety of their team members.
The founder emphasized the importance of being able to travel to Haiti to oversee the construction of the school and connect with the community. Without the ability to physically be present, the progress of the project has been brought to a standstill.
Despite this setback, the founder remains hopeful and determined to find alternative solutions to continue their work in Haiti. The organization is actively exploring options to work around the flight bans and resume their mission of providing education and opportunities to the children of Haiti.
As the situation in Haiti continues to evolve, Angels for Humanity is committed to finding creative ways to support the community and make a lasting impact in the lives of those in need. The founder urges supporters to stay engaged and remain resilient in the face of challenges, emphasizing the importance of coming together to overcome obstacles and make a difference in the world.
