Haiti

Love for L’Allemand is a non-profit Christian based organization that supports the educational and physical needs of our friends in L’Allemand, Haiti. L’Allemand is a small farming community in northern Haiti on the peak of a mountain. The community fights through different 3rd world injustices. Regardless of their living conditions, the joy and love among the community cannot go unnoticed.

This trip is a chance to invest in the next generation through studies, activities, and games, as well as make friends in a community that is rich in relationships.
