Why I decided to go on this study tour

Growing up in a developing country made me very aware of the importance of international solidarity and of social justice and ignited my passion for international development. Moreover, following my international solidarity internship in Peru, in 2015, I was eager to learn more about international solidarity and social justice. Hence, when I came across this study tour opportunity, I didn’t think twice before applying!


Going on this trip was an opportunity to learn firsthand about the social justice issues that exist in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and to raise awareness about these issues in my community upon my return in Canada. By visiting and accompanying the Jesuit Migrant Service staff, I wanted to witness in person the challenges that they face while promoting human and social development at the Haitian-Dominican border.

According to the Centre’s employees, who actively work on the field, Haitian migrants (including children) are oftentimes victims of sexual abuse at the border, are victims of violence from the military police at the border, are highly vulnerable to human trafficking and are exploited by their employers. To address and...

How can we help?

There are a few things that I’ve been working on myself and that we could all do to help advance the cause of migrant rights and to help protect our environment from the detrimental effects of mining operations: 1. Write to your local MP to voice your concern about the mining activities in developing countries. 2. Join Mining Watch Canada (or any of its international partners) to help shed light on the issue if mining in developing countries and raise awareness in the community. 3. Donate to the Fe y Alegria/Foi et Joie schools. 4. Volunteer with Fe y Alegria/Foi et Joie schools, if they are present in your respective countries. 5. Volunteer or donate to Hogar de Cristo in Dajabón, to help Father Mario Serrano Marte from Centro Montalvo provide food and shelter to street kids. For more information, please contact me or the Canadian Jesuits International. This immersion experience was short but it was rich and eye opening! I have learned a lot about t...
