Seeding Hope in Haiti is a national speaking tour with Junior St-Vil, executive director of Pax Christi Haiti; and Daniel Tillias, Program Director of Pax Christi Haiti. St-Vil and Tillias, long-time human rights activists in Haiti, will be in the United States from June 18 to July 3.
St-Vil and Tillias will be sharing their analysis of the current crises in Haiti, offering opportunities for solidarity between the peoples of the US and Haiti, advocating for nonviolent, political solutions to the violence in Haiti and more. St-Vil, whose wife was kidnapped and held for ransom by an armed gang in April, will also discuss the impact that this type of violence has on individuals and groups working for social change in Haiti and how the international community might begin addressing kidnappings for ransom like those in his home country.
