Bondye fe san di. God acts and doesn't talk.
Welcome to the Webpage for the Haiti Connection at Eastern Illinois University. We have been on campus as part of the Newman Center's mission outreach since 1989. We welcome all to be part of our mission and work both here and in Haiti.
Haiti continues to recover from the earthquake and cholera. The good news is the Haiti Connection continues to work with our partners and friends in Haiti to provide clean drinking water, reforestation, education and micro-credit. Please support Haiti Connection events that will be happening throughout the semester as we raise funds to aid our Haitian brothers and sisters to rebuild their lives. Please keep them in your prayers.
