Volunteer in the United States UNIF USA is a small organization that depends on the good will of dedicated individuals to help fulfill its mission. There are many opportunities to volunteer, and new suggestions are always welcome. Here are several examples of volunteer efforts individuals and groups can take: Write About UNIF Press coverage is vital to getting the word out about UNIF and its unique role in rural Haiti's economic and social development. Even if you're not an expert, you can read through our website, email with questions, and even interview staff members or UNIF students. An article in your local paper, college publication, or other media outlet is invaluable. Show a Video About UNIF Several films have been produced about Fondwa and the university there, so one is bound to be right for your civic group, church, or circle of friends.

Volunteer in Haiti Since 1988, several dozen groups and individuals have spent time (from a few days to several years) in the community of Fondwa. They have gone to teach, and also to learn. The people there say "Fondwa se yon gwo lekol"- Fondwa is a big school. Everyone learns from each other. The Peasant Association of Fondwa accepts volunteers with backgrounds in agriculture and veterinary medicine, and people of all ages and backgrounds to work in the orphanage and school The University of Fondwa regularly welcomes foreign professors in each of its three faculties, and also as professors of foreign languages. If you are deeply interested in participating in the work of the Peasant Association of Fondwa and the University of Fondwa, consider taking a journey to the mountains of Haiti. It just may change your life, as it has for so many people before.
