I didn't do a good job of keeping you up to date on this project. My apologies.</div><div><br></div><div>It is finished and it went very well. Here's a link to summary which includes final report and downloadable governance plan in English and in Haitian-Creole:</div><div><a href="http://haitipartners.org/2012/12/good-neighbor-project-helps-habitat-santo-community-work-toward-independence/">http://haitipartners.org/2012/12/good-neighbor-project-helps-habitat-santo-community-work-toward-independence/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Habitat For Humanity has been very pleased and asked us to submit Phase two given that they've built another 130 or so homes and that they're eager for us to accompany and coach the new home owner's association.</div><div><br></div><div>More Circles of Change contracts are in the works. I'll keep you posted.</div><div><br></div><div>Warm wishes to all for a wonderful holiday season.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>John</div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">
