Visit at Beaudouin camp

JACMEL - PCI president Josue Pierre-Paul organized an important meeting at the camp of Beaudouin on the 2nd of April 2011, where hundreds of victims displaced from Pinchinat camp are living.

That meeting took place for a new project we have to launch on April 9. This projects aims to ensure people all over the country are well trained on human rights, democracy and education. More than 35 people got registered in this program and show they are willing to join the organization for a better tomorrow.

Over the meeting, the participants took advantage of this opportunity to present the PCI their needs. Their main concern is education. They would like funds to be available for children's education. They recognize education is the pillar of development in Haiti, and no change is possible without education. So, they wish the PCI and partners can support children to go to school over the coming school year.

As many of them have not finished their high school, they think a training school can be a great help for them. They need a place to learn something. Pierre-Paul promised to take some of them in the PCI computer course even though we now lack some computing supplies.

They also propose we invest in small business development. This can help them get an income and meet their responsibility toward themselves and their families.

After talking about all problems children and young adults are going through, the participants commit themselves to working within the PCI and the new project.
