Few Expereinces from the Youth Leadership Training Program
"I’ve learned how to collaborate, and seen that solidarity and respect for each other is so important. Reforestation is of great importance to Haiti because deforestation is such a great danger to us and the environment. I’m absolutely certain that this seminar will be helpful to me through out my whole life" - Stephanie
"What really attracted me was how we took initiative and helped one another. Reforestation is essential for Haiti and this is a brilliant way to bring it to the youth." - Regine
"I am a leader. I am capable of giving the training and leading the group to where we are supposed to go. When we do reforestation the whole community should be involved. Invite the community to assist us in the reforestation activities, open it up to others." - Tiluz
"I would love to be a leader, and accept others and pass on my knowledge to others. Teamwork made me feel stronger. I learned that even when things are difficult, when we all put our hands into it we can do it easily. I definitely would love to work more on the reforestation. It is important and we should plant avocados as well as mangos and coconuts. We need to plant so many trees that we must include others. . I’d love to include others in this movement." - Birly
