Recorded: Hung Pham for Care2Share
Monday, Apr.5, 2010 (our 1st day): we came, delivered “goods”, ate, and sorted medicines, and give-aways. We surveyed tent cities in Port Au Prince and Croix de Bouquet.
Haiti population is 9 million with 90% black, 5% white (“Blanc”); the balance is mixed. Twenty years ago Haiti was 95% Catholic with the French ruling. Now it is 60% Catholic, 30% Protestant, and 10% Voodoo. Although mostly Christian in faith, a large number of Haitians still believe in the power of voodoo and so some also practice outside of the Christian faith. Voodoo is a religion, a culture and a tradition which was brought over from parts of Africa where the people originated back in the slave-trading days.
