Haiti Vision Trip
Haiti is often described as the poorest country in the western hemisphere, a place of near-hopelessness poverty and relentless environmental decline. But for over 12 years Plant With Purpose has been working in over 67 communities to bring environmental renewal and hope for a better future. This trip will be an ideal opportunity to gain a first-hand understanding of Plant With Purpose’s work in Haiti and the challenges faced by the Haitian people in light of the recent earthquake. Components of our trip will include: visiting local farms, churches, tree nurseries and micro-finance groups; spending time with local farmers to build relationships and learn about how they are working to heal their communities; and learning from local Plant With Purpose staff about the challenges and joys of working in Haiti.
