Gérard Jean-Juste, a human rights activist and priest from Haiti, helped refugees fleeing persecution under the Duvalier regime in Miami in the '70s, then returned to Haiti in 1990 to become pastor in Tiplas Kazo.
As a result of his activism, he has been imprisoned for months at a time without access to due process of the law.
In this three-minute interview with Global X, Gérard Jean-Juste explains how he made the decision to start "une cantine" (a soup kitchen) in Haiti. A young boy, part of a family of ten children ("the father was dead, the mother was very ill") went to him to complain that he was hungry. "It was like a cry in my heart. I had to perform a miracle."
He did.
