The earthquake that hit Haiti during Jan 2009 saw a catastrophic lost of life and destroyed the county’s infrastructure. Desperate images filled our TV screens and at the epicentre, Port-au-Prince, YMCA Haiti lost its building. Thankfully there was no loss of life among its members. YMCAs in England supported the relief project through Y Care International.
I caught up with YMCA Haiti’s General Secretary, Gwenael Apollon to find out how the YMCA was rebuilding in the aftermath of the disaster.
"What’s the YMCA like in Haiti?"
"How did the earthquake affect you and your work?"
"What are YMCA Haiti’s plans for the future?"
"Your new building seems to be a symbol of hope in Haiti. Is there still hope in the country?"
"Thank you Gwenael and we wish you every success in the future."
