I&#8217;m your host Lindsay Recknell. And I just wanted to give a short extra introduction to this episode of the podcast today. It is a very special episode because I am very excited to introduce you to a very sweet young man called Fanelson Strongitharm. I had the pleasure of interviewing Fanelson&#8217;s mom, Kelly Strongitharm a few months ago. a few weeks ago, I can&#8217;t remember when on the podcast. Kelly&#8217;s episode was season seven, Episode Two. So that&#8217;s a few months ago now. I&#8217;ll link to this in the show notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lindsay Recknell\u00a0 0:41\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And on this episode of the podcast, Kelly introduced us to her son Fanelson and the experience that she had adopting him and bringing him home from Haiti. On the day that the pandemic was declared back in March of 2020. You can only imagine what chaos and frustration and hope truly the hope that Kelly and Fanelson and the other families went through to bring these kids home back in March. If you had a chance to listen to Kelly&#8217;s episode, you will hear how she got on a plane in Vancouver headed to Montreal, not knowing if when she got there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lindsay Recknell\u00a0 1:22\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Fanelson had gotten on the plane from Haiti and landed in and would be landing in Montreal, you&#8217;ll also hear the energy and effort that it took to get his Canadian citizenship and his passport. And you will also hear the hopes and dreams that Kelly has for her son, and for his life here in Canada. Today&#8217;s episode is extra special because it&#8217;s Fanelson&#8217;s side of the story, you get to hear what final son loves about Canada, you get to hear what it felt like leaving Haiti and arriving in Montreal and his experience of the plane trip to get him up here to Canada. You&#8217;ll also hear him share with us his favorite thing about himself, and what his hopeful plans are for his future. I think you&#8217;re really gonna love this episode. So please sit back, relax and enjoy. And let&#8217;s get to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lindsay Recknell\u00a0 2:19\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hello, welcome to another episode of the Hope Motivates Action podcast.

So she donated a lot of shoes to the children so that they could go to school. And maybe it was really worth it because maybe one pair of shoes would be too good for net too big for one kid. So give it to the other and then keep going on and on and on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lindsay Recknell\u00a0 9:56\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right, she had a vision for what a hopeful future could look like for those kids.

And then, obviously, with everything that happened with COVID, I think it was a really good decision for us to stop because we wouldn&#8217;t be able to ship right now. So our focus is solely on the two schools and making sure that they still have everything that they need, and all the kids are sponsored. And so all of our fundraising efforts go towards the schools, and the students there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lindsay Recknell\u00a0 11:17\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And schools here in Canada can do fundraising efforts, however, they want to be able to contribute to that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kelly Strongitharm\u00a0 11:25\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, exactly.

So it&#8217;s $600 a year, but then they get to, you know, have a relationship with that their students and watch them grow. And you know, you have classroom of anywhere from 15 to 30.
