What the eye doesn’t see doesn’t move the heart – Haitian Proverb

Quest:
Volunteers for HAITI provides the laity with an opportunity to serve God’s people in the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

Volunteers are committed to developing their spirituality, living simply, growing in community and working for social justice that challenges unjust structures. They live with the Religious of Jesus and Mary and share in their mission.
For the past four years, volunteers have served in the mountain town of Gros Morne, which is about five hours north of Port-au-Prince. For the past two years volunteers have also served in a second site in Jean Rabel, a hamlet northwest of Gros Morne.

Volunteers work in a variety of community organizing efforts in Haiti; health care, gardening, education, youth groups, artisan groups, reforestation efforts. RJM’s, volunteers, and Haitians work together to meet the many needs of the people.
There are opportunities for summer and year-long commitments. For more information, contact Sr. Rita Ricker, RJM, 4602 Clemson Road, College Park, MD 20740. E-mail: volunteer@rjm-us.org
