Help Haiti build new school for her youth and reforest her hills by joining our Brigade

In 1804 the people of Haiti did the impossible by defeating the French colonial power and declaring its independence. The Haitian people have developed a great history and culture while waging their struggle for justice against forces both foreign and domestic.

Today Haiti finds herself at a crossroad in need of support from her friends. Join us as we:

• examine the impact of the US and other foreign troops in Haiti,

• help to expand much needed schooling in the countryside,

• meet and work with the people and the grassroots organizations of her country side,
• study her history,
• participate in many of her cultural events and
• lend solidarity with her people.

The Brigade offers a rare opportunity to be up close observer in the Haitian people struggle for justice. It also offers an opportunity to give material support in the effort to expand the opportunity of education in the countryside of Haiti.

Education in the countryside of Haiti.

Public schools in the Haitian countryside can only accommodate about 15% of the youth population. There is tuition for public schools and many families cannot afford to send their children to school. Those families who can afford to send their children to school often have to decide between paying for their children’s education or food for their families. The people of Haiti put a high priority on education. At least 50% of the cost of this brigade will, go towards expanding education fox the children i0 the countryside.
