Jo’s Reasons for Involvement in H4H: 
 “I met Ady and Frantz on my first trip to Haiti.  They were in their final year at American University of the Caribbean and were interpreters for our medical mission group.  Ady and Frantz impressed me so much with their work ethic, their knowledge of the land and their understanding of the complicated political circumstances that affected small farmers in Haiti.  They were so smart, so passionate about their country and so dedicated to the idea of one day helping the small farmer in Haiti, I knew they would go on to do good things.  Watching Ady press on with his education in the U.S. and Canada, pass up career opportunities to work in Haiti, has been an inspiration. Their example inspired me to serve as a H4H Board Member to support the work of many other creative and innovative Haitians like them.”
