Getting to Haiti

by Grantonio on January 22, 2012

Many have asked what it takes to get to Haiti. Usually they are asking a broader, more in-depth question. Instead, I show here what a typical trip from waking up to getting to Chauffard, Haiti looks like.

More on the trip below.

More videos from the Sparked School.

This video was taken from the December 2011 trip to Chauffard. The team for this trip was focused on finishing the first floor of the Chauffard Community Center and completing a 12-bed bunkhouse. So CPI Haiti brought skilled construction team members from both First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, Florida and The Crossing Church in Clermont, Florida.

We succeeded in the construction of both, as well as added lighting and nuances to the buildings. The second floor of the Chauffard Community Center still needs to be completed, and the bunkhouse’s bathroom stall and windows need to be finished.

That will most likely occur in the summer of 2012.
