CVX-CLC 7th Insertion/ Exchange Visit to
Hispanola Haitians after the January 12, 2010 Earthquake
First visit August 2010...Seventh Familiarization 31 March - 7 April 2016
Why do we go? To listen, to learn, to pray with, to observe how we can more effectively accompany Haitians of Hispaniola in their rebuilding efforts - laid out in their August 19, 2010 priorities:
Announced by SJ 19 August 2010 in Port-au-Prince:
- Education(thru Fe Y Alegria - Foie et joie - Cristo Rey collaboration)
- Accompaniment of Displaced Person
- Social Centre to strengthen Civil Society
- Spirituality Centre
- Haitian-Dominican respectful relations

Port-au-Prince still has waterfront workers. Much has been rebuilt yet some live in temporary shelters.
