HAFF benefits tremendously from the participation of teams who make one or two week visits to the Bohoc campus. Not only are there countless opportunities for visitors to help the missionaries with specific projects and activities, but the Haitian people are encouraged by their presence as well. The local community is quick to realize that a team coming to visit is the result of a desire to help them. HAFF is equipped to host groups between one and twelve persons.


We emphasize that visitors' time in Haiti should not be dedicated solely to work. We encourage a balance of work and study. Significant work is often done by a team, but we like to think that the educational
value for team members is at least as important as the work they complete. In fact, it is quite acceptable for a group to come with the primary goal of understanding missions and getting to know HAFF and the community we serve in particular. Those with the desire and physical ability can get involved with some hands-on projects. Team members can help a student with his/her English, or HAFF could arrange for visitors to help a farmer make a contour ditch to stop erosion in his fields. We'll try to provide opportunities to visit local markets, visit with Haitians in their homes and gardens, meet missionaries from other organizations, and worship in rural churches - all to help teams better understand the culture and the needs of Haiti.
It is our desire that visitors leave Haiti
with a better understanding of how our God transcends cultural and language barriers as He ministers to His people. Therefore we encourage individuals to consider coming even if they don't feel they have a specific skill or talent to offer. Part of what teams accomplish is in sharing their experiences with others upon returning home.

Sometimes a church would like to send a team but only has a few interested individuals. If this is the case, please contact us. Many times one or two people from one church have been able to combine forces with small groups from other churches. HAFF will consider team sizes from one to twelve people depending on our needs.
