Rendez-Vous Haiti Trip
January 3 - 13, 2016
Come to Haiti with us! Give a helping hand with 116 children. Learn, teach, share, respond—be part of a development and spiritual journey.

Share 10 days of immersion with the wonderful children of the Foyer, which is located in rural Santo, Commune de Croix des Bouquets (40 minutes from Port-au-Prince).
