It is what we often hear, “Haiti is like no other experience! It has become a part of me.” Truly, Haiti is a land and a people rich in both complexities and contradictions. Despite this, every visitor attests to the love and joy they feel during their time here. Haiti’s history is very much its present and is deeply embedded in every Haitian. This history, full of the scars of colonialism and the pride of revolution, influences every aspect of their social, cultural, and psychosocial being. It is important to be aware that the values of many Westerners are not to be assumed as the same as Haitians. We encourage you to bear an open heart and an open mind; to listen before acting, to ask before assuming, to treat those you may see as poor as a human being, rich in their ability to share and desire to be all they can be.

To fully experience a FIDA/pcH Not-so-comfortable-in-understanding-poverty Adventure Tours, we advise to come prepared to listen, observe and learn. You will be welcomed yet challenged.
