Description:

Discussion with Haitian activists, Alina "Tibebe" Cajuste and Guyto Derosiers, presented by Beyond Borders 

250,000 Haitian children are living in a form of modern slavery called restav?k. Coming to the United States this May are Alina "Tibebe" Cajuste, who grew up in restav?k slavery and is now an inspiring leader working with other adult survivors for an end to restav?k, and Guyto Derosiers, the Coordinator of our Child Protection Program, who heads a team of powerful trainers who are expanding our network of Child Rights Activists in Port-au-Prince. Tibebe and Guyto will be touring the East Coast to raise awareness about this grave injustice and what you can do to help end restav?k in our lifetimes. This is a unique opportunity for us in the US to learn firsthand from Haitians working for social movements in their own communities. For more information, please visit www.nochildaslave.org.
