What is Haiti’s story?
We have heard the phrase “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” This definitely applies to Haiti Outreach’s work to help Haiti become a more developed country. If we do not understand their history, where these people came from and the challenges that they have endured, we will neither be able to understand their situation today nor be able to generate the most appropriate programs to work with them.

What should I expect when staying at the Guest House?
Will we have internet and running water? Will I have a curfew? Before leaving, please review the Guest House Rules and Regulations to assure a happy stay!
