Description

    Have you always wanted to volunteer in Haiti but weren't sure where to start?

    Are you interested in working with kids in a beautiful and safe location?

Haiti is a country that has been devastated and is in great need of physical, spiritual, and emotional support. Help Us Save Us (HUSU) has been working in Saint Raphael since 2008 and conducts summer camps to provide orphans from throughout all of Haiti with the benefits of food, shelter, and education. For many of these children, this will be their first experience with basic needs we take for granted.

    Through social work, arts and crafts, sports, mentoring, and other activities, you will personally have the chance to affect and witness the change brought to these children from just two weeks of loving care and attention.

Make a difference by volunteering with Help Us Save Us (HUSU). We are seeking dedicated volunteers (age 18-40) to join HUSU for this is opportunity to gain insight and experience in fund raising, event planning, and community organizing. Members of Help Us Save Us will support the organization's work in Haiti by raising awareness and helping increase donations.

Highlights

Volunteers will help severely underprivileged children in Haiti. The project is based in the beautiful small town of Saint Raphael in the North of Haiti. Volunteers plan and teach informal, fun and interactive classes with different activities such as art, dance and music to feed the children's hunger to learn. In your free time you can discover Haiti; visit Citadelle Laferriere, Sans-Souci Palace, the beaches, Tourist market, and learn the language, culture and customs amidst the locals on the city terraces. Volunteer accommodations are safe and comfortable.
