TheHAVA.org Holiday Event in Haiti - 12-23-11.wmv

Happy Holiday season; TheHAVA.org (www.thehava.org) returned to Anse a Veau, Haiti from December 15 through 19, 2011. Anse à Veau is an isolated village with approximately 55,138 inhabitants. The village is 120 kilometers from Port-au-Prince. The area has very little infrastructure, and there are four waterways that must be crossed before you can reach the village. One of the rivers sometimes becomes impassable when it crests.

For years, the people of Anse à Veau have been left to fend for themselves, obtaining food from fishing in the river and agricultural. In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Anse à Veau was population increased with refugees from the afflicted areas. A large population lives in huts, without running water and limited electricity from generators, which normally powers the community for one or two hours after sunrise.




We organized/hosted four holiday parties (one in Thor, Port Au Prince) for the families of the impoverish fishing communities in Anse A Veau, Haiti. We provide gifts to approximately 700 children.

TheHAVA.org next project is "Easter In Haiti and Dominican Republic" schedule in April 2012. After reviewing this video, please donate/help to make our next project a success. I would also appreciate in-kind donations such as: clothes (e.g. suits, dresses), dress shoes, toys, pens, pencils, books, and crayons for gift bags for the children. Thank you
