Hope Takes Root in Haiti

To celebrate Haiti’s Labor Day, more than 1,500 people planted more than 25,000 trees high up in the mountains of Mahotière, which is just south of Port-au-Prince. Now Mahotière, the farm community where the trees were planted, has a strong head start to combat the heavy deforestation, soil erosion and hunger that have become the area’s reality. Food For The Poor donated the trees, and staff oversaw the well-choreographed tree planting by the community on the mountain slopes.
