Reconnecting Haitian American Youth to Haiti Through Service
Below is an article from the Miami Herald about Haitian American youth who increasingly want to make a difference for Haiti, not through politics but through service. An increasing number of Haitians and Friends of Haiti believe now is the time to implement a modest program through which Haitian American college students and/or graduates can serve in Haiti with an emphasis on teaching computer skills, environmental conservation, best practices in education, and English instruction. Haiti needs its Diaspora, not just its remittances, but its active engagement. Such a program would help instill a sense of committment among future leaders in the Haitian American community. We endorse the idea wholeheartedly.
