November is a month characterized by gratitude and giving worldwide. It’s great to recognize this season that embraces giving and philanthropy, especially as we at BRITE work to raise funds for our year-round programs in Haiti. This month we took some time to reflect on what generosity means in our country, both culturally and developmentally. Every culture has its own practices of generosity, and in many countries like Haiti where poverty constrains resources, giving is an essential part of survival. There is a profound culture of generosity in Haiti, though it looks different from what happens in places like the U.S.
