Four members of Ayiti Resurrect and Ayiti Cherie Healing Project traveled to Haiti recently to do groundwork for the project. We met with several community leaders, students, grassroots organizers, and people living in camps for internally-displaced people (in Port-Au-Prince, Leogane, and Croix-de-Bouquet). We asked important questions and established critical connections with local organizations and individuals who are eager to collaborate with us to bring this healing project into fruition. Over the next few months, our partners in Haiti will be discerning a location and acquiring permission to build this space, and deepening relationships with community members that will further refine the vision. At the same time, we abroad are assembling a diverse and powerful team of delegates, sharpening the tools we can share with quake-survivors, and seeking funding and support for this innovative healing initiative.
