As you may already know, LQVE invests tens of thousands of dollars every year to support nurses, teachers, soccer tournaments, and wealth growing initiatives in the southeast part of Haiti. It's amazing what all of us have been able to pull together and accomplish since 2015, but to continue these projects and to put in the hours it takes to maintain relationships with our Haitian friends, we're excited to announce that we decided to bring Shay Foster on as an official part-time employee!

We've been supporting Haitians for years, but Shay will be the first person on our payroll stateside facilitating everything from finances to social media to leading our trips on the ground in Haiti. LQVE has come to the point where we need someone like Shay to devote more of his time to our Haitian relationships and projects in order for them to continue thriving, volunteering a couple hours a week isn't enough anymore! We're happy to say that due to Shay's own personal fundraising campaign for this job, his salary is already taken care of and won't come out of any of LQVE's existing donations. This way 100% of what everyone gives to LQVE still goes towards our relationships and projects in Haiti!

Shay loves this work and has gained a wealth of experience in facilitating trips, managing donations, editing media content, and interacting with our Haitian friends for the last three years. He's also pursuing a Master's degree in International Community Development from Northwest University. With his education, experience, and personal connection, we feel Shay is the perfect person to help LQVE!
