Haiti,
generally regarded as the poorest country in the western world, has got a
lot of treasures in culturel, religious and botanical sectores. We make it
our business to open people´s eyes to see these riches and to look for
support for their preservation and display. Lasting
for centuries Haiti was the melting pot of african and indian traditions.
Schamanistic We
think it important to take part in keeping culturel variety alive. With
every downfalling culture one facet of the “soul of mankind” dies. We
should realize, that the mankind forms a whole. The dialog between
different cultures will give us the answers, our age needs. This can
happen, if we will meet eachother with respect and esteem And
welcome members of other religions or world views as accepted partners,
who will broaden eachother´s mind. We
want to help the Haitians with “help to self-help” to live a life
beyond the subsistence level as a foundation for their living culture. We
are happy about everybody, who wants to support us for all our efforts. Contact : HerzvonHaiti@t-online.de
