Shaina Silva and her friend, Patsye Delatour, co-founded Haiti in Transition in the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake. Shaina emails, “H.i.T. empowers Haitian youth to become agents of change and pioneers in a renewed Haiti. Our endeavors include designing and implementing leadership and character development programs in schools and community centers, organizing special events to build bridges between youth and government, facilitating youth engagement in community beautification projects, establishing networks of youth-led organizations, and hosting cultural exchanges that allow youth from different countries to visit and experience Haiti’s magic. This is only the beginning for H.i.T.”
