What makes us think about setting up an association, that deals with Haiti ? There are a lot of poor countries. After many years of occupation with different religions in search of spiritual enrichment, we became aware of the Haitian`s religion, called Vodoun. And this happened quite practically : We could participate in a Vodoun-ceremony here in Germany. It was organized by two Vodoun-priests, initiated in Haiti, who are busy in Germany, a man and his wife. This deeply impressing event, difficult to describe, let grow our interest in Haiti.

Journeys to Haiti gave us insights into the life of the
people there, impressions of their enormous material poverty and at the
same time the spiritual abundance of their religion.
|
| In this way more and more the request comes into being to help poor Haitians who are living at the subsistence level. Moreover we want to help them to keep their rich culture in practicing their traditions. And last not least we want to make it more public in Germany. |
|
| You can regard Vodoun as the heart of Haiti.
For this reason we called our association "Herz (= heart) von (=of)
Haiti ".
It was registered in Germany in december 1999 and accepted as for the public benefit with the aims of development aid and international understanding. |
