Students from Avondale and Renaissance High Schools are joining together to serve in Haiti over Thanksgiving 2017

We are a combined team of students from Avondale and Detroit Renaissance High Schools, who will  serve in Haiti from November 17th-24th. Our team is partnering with Mission of Hope Haiti to create the Seeds to Sustainability initiative, where our team will create a Greenhouse program to start a massive tree growing initiative which will grow thousands of seedlings.  Those seedlings will then be planted by teams in surrounding villages to help reforest a badly deforested nation and provide greater food security for families and villages.  Our greenhouse project will lead to the growth of over 10,000 trees initially, but it will also enable MOH to continually plant trees, have a sustainable tree seedling program that is self funding, and tangibly change lives. These trees will be bearing fruit and sustaining lives for years and decades to come.  We will be planting a variety of fruit trees, that will provide greater food security for families, as well as planting trees that will be used for shade and charcoal for families.
