Plan a 2019 Immersion Trip to Haiti
|
|
The members of Mercy Focus on Haiti (MFOH) invite you to consider planning an immersion experience to Haiti in 2019. Please
read this letter
from Sister Mary C. Sullivan of the MFOH Immersion Committee which describes the benefits of this experience for students as well as practical considerations for planning. As Sister Mary notes:
"We can all learn so much from our Haitian families and partners in northern Haiti: their resilient joy, their care for Earth and ecological know-how, and their abiding trust in our merciful God."
