We will be working with Heart of Jonathan (Ted and Lisa Hojara) for this event.
This will be our first annual "Hope Walk Haiti"
We are very excited to share our experience with those who come to join us.
The walk to Jacmel is a breathtaking and challenging walk across some of the highest mountain ranges in the Caribbean. At 6000 feet elevation you will enjoy one of Haiti’s most hidden treasures. As you walk amongst some of the country’s poorest you will gain insight into the daily lives of the Haitian people, as well as their culture .
Our hope is that the participants who walk will gain a real understanding of life in Haiti and their hearts would be opened to the people and to the country and the great need here. It is a great opportunity to see and experience the diverse extremes that this country has to offer as you witness not only extreme poverty, but amazing beauty!
It is bound to be an experience you will not soon forget...
