In 2024 the vision is to provide a loving home for 20 orphaned children in Mt. Grenan, St Vincent. The land has been secured and the estimated cost to build the children's home is $300,211.09—a sum that may seem daunting, but with donor generosity, it is within reach. Already, we have raised close to $57,000 towards our goal—a testament to the power of community and collective action.

Goal One: Share the vision to build a children's home on the island of St Vincent in the village of Mt. Grenan and encourage donors to join the journey.

Goal Two: Build the house on the land already purchased.

Goal Three: Settle 20 children and house parents into the home with necessary support to achieve success.

An internal leadership development program tailored to the specific needs and goals of the organization including peer learning groups, and leadership development plans for individual staff members is followed to encourage participation and active engagement in leadership development activities as part of the organization's culture and values.

As the leader of our small nonprofit organization, the past 12-18 months have been a period of significant internal changes and challenges, including the unexpected loss of a significant advisor and mentor, my dad. When the global pandemic hit, our organization faced immediate disruptions to our operations, fundraising efforts, and program delivery. Like many nonprofits, we had to quickly pivot to remote work, adapt our programs to comply with public health guidelines, and find new ways to engage with our community. We began by implementing virtual meetings to ensure that our team members could stay connected and collaborate effectively despite being physically apart. We also leveraged technology to deliver our programs and services remotely, shifting to online workshops, and virtual events to continue serving our beneficiaries. As we navigated these changes, we faced another unexpected challenge with the passing of my dad. His death deeply impacted our team emotionally. We mourned the loss of our advisor and number #1 supporter. Internally, we underwent a period of transition as we worked to support family and ensure continuity and effectiveness. Throughout these internal changes, we remained committed to our mission and values, finding strength in our shared purpose and collective resilience. We fostered open communication, transparency, and collaboration within our team, recognizing that adaptability and flexibility were essential for navigating uncertainty. We identified areas for improvement, and recruited new members with diverse skills and perspectives. As we look back on the past 12-18 months, we are proud of how far we've come as an organization and grateful for the support of our team, board, volunteers, and community. While we faced challenges and setbacks along the way, each experience has made us stronger, more adaptable, and more united in our commitment to creating positive change in the world.
