Jean Robert Cadet
The man behind the foundation was once a child in the system.
As a restavek he lost his childhood as he worked from sunup to sundown. Like countless others he dressed in rags, slept on the floor and endured countless beatings. Yet unlike them, he was able to escape through education. Today he wants to help bring an end to the restavek system and bring hope and freedom to the children of Haiti.

Haiti
The rich historic past of Haiti has eroded over the years.
Today the country that won its independence through a successful slave rebellion, now has a population fighting to survive. In 1925, Haiti was lush, with 60% of its original forest covering the lands and mountainous regions. Since then, the population has cut down all but an estimated 2% of its original forest cover, resulting in massive flooding and the destruction of fertile farmland.
