Haiti Service Trip
Once one of the wealthiest of the European colonies in the world, Haiti is currently the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, ranking 204 out of 227 in the world with an estimated $1200 per/person annual income. This beautiful country does not lack for service opportunities. As your Haiti team will discover, the Haitian people are not only proud of their country, but will also work hard alongside your team to ensure the success of your service trip. Your team will have the opportunity to partner alongside local community members to encourage them both physically. Since the earthquake devastated the Port-au-Prince area in January 2010, most Haiti service teams have focused on construction. However, many other opportunities are available to your team, ranging from orphanage assistance to sports camps. |
