Inside Haiti: Jewish Young Professionals Service Trip | Special Opportunity for UK Residents

Inside Haiti: Jewish Young Professionals Service Trip | Special Opportunity for UK Residents

Applying nearly a century of relief expertise as the world’s largest Jewish humanitarian assistance organization, the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) mobilized within hours of the tragic January 2010 earthquake in Haiti and has raised some $8.6 million to help the survivors rebuild their lives.  Within 48 hours, JDC allocated initial emergency relief funds and soon thereafter a team of JDC professionals was on the ground. 
 
Two years after the earthquake, there is still a lot of rebuilding that needs to be done.  You can make a difference on the ground today
