Restavec Freedom Alliance is dedicated to providing relief for the Restavek children, children who are “given” to families and used as slaves in Haiti. Our mission is to offer a safe, stable, family centered environment for these children so that each child can receive the childhood they deserve – nothing like their life as a Restavek. Each child will have access to an education, medical support, loving care, psychiatric care, and adequate food, clean water and sanitary facilities.

Kay Nou, which means “Our House” in Haitian Creole, is a not-for-profit organization devoted to caring for abandoned and disenfranchised youth in Haiti. Kay Nou was started in 2009 and aims to address the physical, emotional and academic needs of Haitian youth.

Haiticorps was founded in the days following the major earthquake of January 12, 2010 that destroyed a good part of Port-au-Prince, Haiti and surrounding towns. From this devastation grew an urgency from children, grandchildren, and allies of Ayiti Toma (the Kreyòl name for Haiti) to work to restore Haiti and her proud people to their fullest potential. Haiticorps was founded to help with this tremendous undertaking through collaboration and building human capital.

I would like to find a charitable organization that has the need for a teacher and/or a person committed to doing any task (from helping to build homes / schools for earthquake victims to working on sustainable agricultural projects) where knowledge of Haitian Creole would be an asset.

If coordination with other programs is necessary, I would enjoy helping with editing and translation as I have a background in these areas. My main ability is teaching (I have an MA in linguistics / Second language acquisition and ESL certification), so, of course, this is the area I would enjoy helping the most. I have experience with adolescents and young adults, but I have taught younger students.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to transform impoverished communities mainly by providing Christian education, health care, nutrition and micro enterprise opportunities to children and families.

I currently have access to 113,000 PuR water filtration (calcium hydrochlorite) satchets, each of which can filter 10L of water.

I also have plenty of ideas and potential contacts and resources to draw from. Contact me with your ideas and we'll do everything possible to make some good things happen.

What we lack in financial resources, we make up for exponentially with experience, background and a 'nothing's impossible' approach to everything. Tested and proven:)
