Program Description

Haiti Pearl of Antilles: Join us in this Cultural Immersion Program

Description

A trip of a lifetime. See Haiti up close like never before. Travel to Northern and Southern Haiti. From morning until night you will be dazzled by Haiti's natural beauty and friendly people attitude. It's not nothing you've seen on TV.

Over the years, Haiti's historical importance has been overshadowed by negative international press depicting only an image of poverty, instability and insecurity. Under its external panorama that has been ravaged by the natural elements of time and neglect lies a country, untouched and unpolluted by the toxins of the modern era, home to a cultural mix that reflects the different shades, patterns and colors of a worldwide ethnic heritage, a land where the deep roots of the greatest intellectual minds on the international circuit are still buried and ready to start a fresh burgeoning process that will propel Haiti in line with the progressive democracies of the 21st century Caribbean region. It is time to open Haiti's door to its most important new explorers,those who by their knowledge and their proven ability to effect change can finally project to the rest of the world a much different image of Haiti, the richness of a culture and the beauty of its naturalness , an inspiring image that has so far remained hidden behind the camera lenses of reporters who are only focused on pictures that essentially feed the sensational appetite of their powerful news media producers.
