All
the national movements affiliated to the World Movement of Christian
Workers have responded positively, quickly and with enormous generosity
to the call from the International Council to launch a campaign of
solidarity for the support of the Movement in Haiti. Members and
supporters of the English and Welsh MCW have also responded to this call
raising over £1,000. The aim of the solidarity campaign has been to
enable the Movement of Christian Workers (ACO) of Haiti to have the
means to rebuild itself. The money will provide a programme of education
and training for leaders so that the reconstruction of Haiti is in the
hands of Haitians themselves and not foreign leaders no matter how well
meaning their intentions.
In September a small delegation of members of
the movement in the Dominican Republic visited the leaders of the
Haitian movement to make an assessment of the situation and to agree a
plan of action for the reconstruction of the movement. Before Christmas a
training session based on the review of life method will be held in the
Dominican Republic for the current and new leaders of the Haitian ACO.
It is thanks to the international solidarity campaign that this will be
possible. The intention is to collaborate with the YCW in the Dominican
Republic and Haiti in the education, formation and training of leaders.
This will enable them to live their faith through a concrete engagement
in the political and community groups that will need to take
responsibility for the reconstruction of Haiti.
