In Focus: Sarah Fitzpatrick - director of US branch of charity Haven working Haiti

“Our Build It Week will take place from Saturday, November 24 to Saturday, December 1.  Volunteers will be required to raise $5,000 which will cover the cost of flights, accommodation, food and house building materials. The volunteer working and living conditions will be very basic.

“Build It Week will consist of a week of hard work with few creature comforts. However, the reward for the volunteers is exceptional.”
 
How can people get involved?

“On Monday June, 18, Haven U.S. will be holding an open information meeting at 6:30 p.m. at Navillus, 575 Fifth Avenue, New York. This meeting will give people the opportunity to learn more about Haven’s volunteer program.

“One can also log on to the Haven website on www.havenpartnership.com/havenus or by contacting Haven’s U.S. office at 917-561-8044.”
