| Volunteers are the lifeline of AHDH's projects in Haiti. They provide an invaluable service to the people of La Vallee de Jacmel. |
Our ressources are extremely limited. Our volunteers assume the entire cost of the mission.
AHDH provides a letter for students to help find sponsors to defray the cost of the trip which is
tax deductible because AHDH is a 501(c)3 organization.
The total cost runs from $1600 - $1700 USD a week depending on airfare. This includes a
mission support fee (supplies, food, cooks, fuel, etc.), airfare to and from the US, airfare
between Port au Prince and Jacmel, transportation to La Vallee, hotel stay and meals for the
week. Budget a little extra for personal expenses and souvenirs.
