Mission of the project
Mission of the project
My mission is to shed light and raise awareness of how poverty and gang violence have taken a toll on Haitians and how they are being affected by it every day. Haiti's current issues are dealing with homelessness, poverty, and insecurity and it is heartbreaking to hear what the people of Haiti are going through.
