belém village
port-au-prince (haiti)2014
The new Belém village in Haiti was created thanks to the collaboration between Italian volunteers and young Haitians. This project made it possible for 8 young men and a young woman between 22 and 28 years of age to work as building site managers. Their skills ranged from construction techniques to basic knowledge of ecology, the building site and the village.
