Camp Janitha:
Camp Janitha, which was named after the late, Janitha Castor Moricette Cherubin, was developed in order to continue her legacy of helping children in need. Camp Janitha will provide an outlet for the children of Cotes-de-Fer to gain knowledge of health and safety through education and activities while having fun. Campers will enjoy two square meals, attend educational workshops that address reforestation, recycling and safety measures in case of emergencies. As well as engage in arts and crafts and sports activities. We are grateful for those who have sponsored a child(ren) for this project. Safety and Civil Service Program:
This program is established to train people in the community to become part of the Civil Protection team. The program entails training individuals to be first responders during natural disasters, medical emergencies and evacuation situations in Cotes-de-Fer. This team would also be charged with the duty of propagating this training throughout the community institutions, surrounding communities, and other areas as needed. They would provide seminars and workshops, and training at institutions such as schools and churches to ensure they are familiar with procedures in the event of an emergency. Janitha’s Holiday Wish Party:
Is an opportunity to aid families and their children in Cotes-de-Fer, Haiti to have a festive and inspirational holiday season at our annual, Janitha’s Holiday Wish Party. The event is put together to provide food and music for the people of the town while having Santa Claus hand out gifts to the boys and girls. The project will include education of reforestation for the region therefore a seed will be given to each child to plant as well.
