這個原是加勒比海的瑰寶地區，目前情況仍然嚴峻。當地本身固有的問題，加上地震的破壞，使重建工作進展非常緩慢，且間中會遇上意想不到的困難。官方的緊急狀況令原則上已撤銷；一些人道救援組織已經離開，很多人回家去了。商店重開，擠滿顧客；天主教會及基督教會已重新恢復牧民工作。 去年聖誕節前夕獲海地政府承認的「李納德基金」，現正肩負協調當地重建工作，以及展開恢復慈幼會的事業。為回應這些需要，來自其他組織，例如 Jovenes y Desarrollo(JyD) 及國際義工關注發展組織(VIS)的一些員工及義工，亦成為「基金」的一部份。 慈幼會中心重建工作正在展開。 太子港：慈幼會學校 “Ecole Nationale des Arts et Métiers” (ENAM) 已開始上課，由國家教育及職業訓練部提供的預製建築物中進行。
Lakay（街童收容中心）收容了逾三百名兒童，每天由不同的國際組織，例如 Misereor 及奧地利明愛等，輪流為他們提供服務。在太陽城及 Fleuriot-Tabarre，在帳幕中上課，同時他們正等候由國際義工關注發展組織及“Jugendhilfe Lateinamerika” (JUHILA) 非政府組織提供的預製房屋組件。 Thorland：為一萬二千名難民提供居所的工作繼續進行。當地慈幼會士正投入為流離失所、等候安置的人，提供必需品及心理輔導服務。與青少年團體的合作從沒間斷，繼續舉辦文化、娛樂及靈修活動。 加萊瑟爾：慈幼會培育院繼續提供在帳蓬下的教育及住宿服務。非政府組織 “Jugend Dritte Welt” (JDW) 及 JyD，已承諾支付研習中心及小學的部份建築費用。 Pétion-ville：所有活動再度展開。在VIS的資助下，外牆重建工作得以完成。省會院、高等教育中心及初學後培育院的計劃正進行良好；其他在此地區的教育計劃正等候國家部門的審批。
福爾自由：來自西班牙的一位修女，協助培訓在護士學校學生的工作，使學校的活動得以重新開展。有關農業活動方面，將由 “Jugend Ein Welt” (JEW) 負責。 我們可以看到，很多工作正在進行中。慈幼大家庭第二十八個組織「鮑思高福傳團體」，努力奉獻它的服務，明天，三名義工將前往當地，其他義工將於未來數個月陸續出發，替換前者。 Life begins again (ANS – Haiti - Port-au-Prince , 6 July 2010) – Almost six months after the earthquake which devastated the country life in Haiti is taking the first tentative steps. Fr Ducange Sylvain, Superior of the “Blessed Philip Rinaldi” Vice Province of Haiti in a letter sent to the ANS Offices gives a picture of the situation. In what was once the pearl of the Caribbean the situation is still critical. With the older problems and those caused by the earthquake, progress towards any form of normality is slow and often meets the unexpected. Officially the state of emergency is supposed to be over; some humanitarian organisations have left the country and many people have gone back home. The shops are re-opening and are filled with customers; the churches, both Catholic and Protestant have begun their pastoral work again. The “Rinaldi Foundation”, recognised by the Government of Haiti on Christmas Eve last year has the task of coordinating the activities for the rebuilding and the re-launching of the Salesian presence. In order to respond to the needs, some workers and volunteers from other organisations such as “Jovenes y Desarrollo” (JyD) and International Voluntary Service for Development (VIS) has become part of the Foundation. Salesian centres are starting up their work again. Port-au-Prince: at the “Ecole Nationale des Arts et Métiers” (ENAM) lessons are taking place in prefabricated buildings made available by the National Ministry for Education and Professional Formation. In spite of the precarious situation the Salesians are able to provide breakfast (a cup of milk and bread) for about 9000 middle school pupils. A new kitchen should be installed soon to provide food for the children from the schools in Cité Soleil and La Saline, the poorest districts in the area. Over 300 children in Lakay (street children reception centre) are being cared for on a daily basis by various international organisations such as Misereor and Austrian Caritas. In Cité Soleil and Fleuriot-Tabarre lessons have started up again in tents while they wait to be able to use the prefabricated structures offered by VIS and “Jugendhilfe Lateinamerika” (JUHILA). Thorland: providing accommodation for 12,000 refugees continues. Here the Salesians are engaged in providing material and psychological help for the displaced people as they wait to be re-located. Work with youth groups which has never been interrupted continues with cultural, recreational and spiritual activities. Gressier: academic work as well as providing hospitality at the Salesian studentate continue under canvass. The NGO “Jugend Dritte Welt” (JDW) and JyD have promised to cover the financial costs of the rebuilding of the study centre and a part of the elementary schools. Pétion-ville: all activities have started up again. The boundary walls have been rebuilt thanks to the funds provided by VIS. Projects for the Provincial House, for the Centre for Higher Studies and the Postnovitiate are going well; approval for the projects from the National Department for studies in the area is awaited. Cap-Haitien: part of the teachers’ salaries and the school meals are being covered by help from Salesian Missions and the JUHILA organisation has approved the plans for the refurbishment of the school facilities at Gonaives. Fort-Liberté: activities have started again thanks also to the help from a Sister from Spain engaged in assisting and training the students in the school of nursing. As far as the agricultural activities there are concerned, the “Jugend Ein Welt” (JEW) are looking after them. In general one can see a lot taking place. The Community of the Mission of Don Bosco (CMB), the 28th group in the Salesian Family, is committed to offering its own support, and tomorrow three volunteers are setting out with others taking their places in the months ahead. |
