Here’s what they do: In keeping with our mission of ‘Helping Haitians help Haitians,’ we colloborate with Haitian individuals and organizations assisting those most in need. We financially support two orphanages, a meal program for children, a medical clinic, and medical missions. Also, we started and administer a scholarship program in which 140 children and young adults receive full tuitions to attend schools, some of them primary and secondary schools, others technical institutions and universities. We work with an agronomist who runs a small nature center, helps in reforestration programs throughout the country, and provides environmental education in schools. As part of our goal to build relationships between Haitian and American communities, we oversee a Twinning Program in which parishes and other groups in the United States formally create a relationship with parishes in the Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince. Today there are a dozen such convenants that involve 24 communities both in Haiti and the United States. Nativity Scene Directory . Unique Nativity Scenes . Traditional Nativity Scenes .
