The January 12, 2010 Earthquake shook the already frail country of Haiti mercilessly. Over 200,000 deaths resulted as well as the displacement and destruction of thousands of families and lives.Months later, human resilience prevails as Haitians move to pick up the pieces, making a new life out of less than the little most people once had. The emergency stage is over, and now the long-term rebuilding begins. The future of Haitians, like for all of us, lies in their children. Ensuring they have the resources for education is one of the critical tenants of long-term rebuilding.
This journey takes you to Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti and the center of Haiti’s urban activity. A gritty, very poor city to begin with, Port-au-Prince was severely damaged by the January 12th quake with over 230,000 estimated dead and almost a million people believed to be displaced.
St. Joseph’s Home For Boys was devastated by the earthquake. Currently the boys are occupying a house next door to the ruin that was once their home. During your 9 days in Port-au-Prince, you will begin to rebuild the home that will meet the needs of the countless children that will be served by this home today and in the future.
Stand by Haitians as they start anew. This journey is for those of you who are moved into solidarity and action by the events of January 12.

This journey takes you to Jacmel, Haiti, a beautiful port town known for a vibrant art scene and elegant townhouses dating to the 19th century. Jacmel experienced significant damage during the January 12th earthquake. Approximately 70% of buildings were damaged, with the most severe damage in the poorer neighborhoods of Jacmel. Though St. Joseph Family’s Trinity House did not sustain significant damage, all development and construction ceased in order to deal with the emergency. Trinity House was in mid-construction of classrooms and a computer room for their free community school when the earthquake hit. During your 14 days in Jacmel, you will make this computer lab and classroom a reality.
