Reflecting on Paul Farmer's article, the community of Pax Christi USA has a unique opportunity in Pax Christi Ayiti. We can get constructively involved in the processes that are helping to build a better future for Haiti and yet largely keep from becoming, as an NGO, a hallmark of some of the structural problems that have become symptomatic of NGOs there. This is done in four main ways:
1. PCUSA and PC Ayiti are sister organizations with strong historical ties.
2. Pax Christi Ayiti has asked us to be involved in some very specific ways.
3. Pax Christi Ayiti is the instigator and leader of their own projects.
4. Our joint efforts and resources are aimed at creating the conditions for which communities in Haiti can nurture a culture of the Peace of Christ and use resources toward that end.
We invite you to become involved with this unique relationship. If you would like to learn more about the Pax Christi Ayiti SAKALA Youth Program or if you would like to contribute to it in some way, please feel free to contact me at:

Also, look for more information on the Pax Christi Ayiti Program on our website in the near future. We would love to hear from you and have you help us strengthen our relationship with our brothers and sisters in Haiti through your support.
