Description:
The initial emphasis of The Friends of Haiti was to provide medical missions twice a year to St. Anne and its 11 chapels, approximately 60,000 people. Since its inception, The Friends of Haiti has partnered with Assumption Parish of Broadview, Ohio. Led by Mary Zenczak and the Peace and Justice Group, Assumption has been instrumental in getting running water once again to Thomazeau. Now, the current major service areas are health care, education, clean water, agriculture and economic development. The Friends of Haiti are people of all faiths and backgrounds who volunteer their time, skills and resources. People who join us on our missions cover their own travel costs and incidentals. The Friends of Haiti arranges for most of the food, transportation and interpreters while in Haiti. Frequently people use their vacation time to join the missions. In addition to people from many U.S. states, our volunteers include members of The Haitian American Nurses Association and many of the Haitian people themselves, who offer to do what they can to help us have successful missions which help their people.
