New crops being prepped for & planted on our farm

By Thomas J Stein | President

Good afternoon.

We hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. We know we enjoyed our time with family.

Below are pictures of the prep and planting of our new congo bean field. The mature sugar cane ready for harvesting and also the new farm motorcycle.

Each of these has been made possible by your generous donations.

The new crop of congo beans will potentially be a money crop to help support the farm and workers, when it is harvested. The sugar cane is also a potential money crop with the revenue going into payroll and other operational needs in the community.

The new motorcycle will allow Fanfan to move more freely between the farms and doing other activities. The older motorcycle will be used by the workers. It was getting too old to make the daily climbs up the mountain. Fanfan is very happy with the new bike and its power.

As you know, if you have been following our journey in Haiti, the work is never done and it always takes longer than expected.

We continue to seek help in purchasing a mixer, crusher and briquetter for our charcoal processing. These items will need to be imported once we have raised the $5,000-$8,000 they will cost. We also have many donations that we would like to ship to the Haitian schools we work with. We have over 20 containers, just under 1 ton of items, that will cost over $2,000 to put into a container heading for the island.

If you could help with a donation for either of both of these needs we would be very grateful, as would the students, workers, and their families.

Thank you.

Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:14

Clearing grass to protect from fires

Thank you to all who participated in Giving Tuesday on December 2nd. Your gifts to the charity of your choice go a long way in helping these ministries continue their vital work.

Here at BonZeb, Inc., we are grateful for your support and donations. It cannot be stressed enough how important those prayers and financial support are to our ability to meet the needs of those we serve.

It is not too late to make a tax-deductible donation to this worthy cause. As we bring 2025 to an end and prepare for all that 2026 will bring, I would like to give you one last update on our work and ministry in Haiti.

2025 brought a lot and has been a year of growth for us. We planted a tree nursery with hundreds of saplings that are doing well and will be replanted by local children in the hillsides around Boucantiste sometime in 2026. We also started a sugar cane plantation which will come into maturity early in 2026. We were able to scholarship 3 students for the 2025-26 school year and would love to do more next year. We formed a new partnership with Job Power Haiti and look forward to developing more contacts across the country in 2025 and beyond. We were able to offer medical treatment and travel to an employee. We survive political uncertainty, hurricanes and storms, flooding, road erosion, etc. and end the year on a positive note with a celebration for our workers and their families.

As we wind down 2025, it is customary that we offer our team an end of the Christmas payment. This is considered the 13th month payment, 'trezye'm mwa for services. This Bonus Nwe'l, Christmas bonus, is paid with their last payroll of the year. This year that will cost about $1,500. The annual Selebrasyon Nwe'l ak repa, Christmas Celebration and meal, will cost around $100. If you would like to help our team celebrate Christmas with their families and friends, please consider a donation to BonZeb this week. Every dollar helps to defray this cost and is tax deductible. Thank you.

Thank you for being a partner in this effort. If you have not yet partnered with us, we invite you to do just that in the closing weeks of the year.

Please consider a year-end donation to BonZeb, Inc. which you can do through this site PayPal, Venmo, GlobalGiving,or every.org accounts. You can also simply write a check and send it to BonZeb, Inc. P.O. Box 3553, Gresham, OR 97030.

May God bless you and your family this Christmas and watch over you in the New Year.
