We are getting our service projects all lined up. It is really exciting, because we are going to have the opportunity to participate in some really meaningful projects this year.
The service projects that we are going to do are the most important things that we can do to help Haiti. The whole reason that we are going to Haiti is to be in solidarity with the people through our service. To be in solidarity means to participate as equals. So, we can’t just hand things out and leave. We need to dig in and work with the people in Haiti so that they are empowered to carry on for themselves. This is why it is important that we not show up in Haiti to pass out food and clothes. We are certainly called to charity and we are called to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked, so we certainly will do those things. But we cannot stop there – we can do more!
We are called to be in solidarity with the poor. We will do charity to take care of urgent needs, but we also want to focus on service projects, that are in solidarity with the Haitians, and that will make a lasting difference in people’s lives, long after we are gone.
If you are interested in seeing some of what we will be doing, you can find a "Projects List" on our Knights For Haiti website.
