HAITI: Report from PCUSA delegation to Port-au-Prince project

Haiti Project Co-coordinators

We just returned from Haiti, visiting our sister organization Pax Christi Port-au-Prince, and are happy to share all their progress since we visited them last year. As many of you know, Pax Christi USA has been collaborating with Pax Christi Port-au-Prince to support their work to expand capacities for peace in Cite Soleil, a neighborhood in the capital city. This program, called “SAKALA,” translates into English as “it could happen here.”

We know your prayers and thoughts have been focused on Haiti as you watched news coverage on the recent tropical storm Isaac. Many of you have written and asked about our friends in Cite Soleil and their safety. While the heavy rains and winds brought down some tents, flooded some homes, and destroyed some crops and livestock, we are thankful to report that the damage was mild compared to other storms of the past.

Pax Christi Port-au-Prince responded quickly to the needs of the neighborhood during and after the tropical storm. Many from the neighboring tent camp, SOHAMO, took shelter at the Pax Christi’s community center building and some remain living there because their tent shelters were destroyed. For the last two months, Pax Christi Port-au-Prince has been running a summer peace camp for the youth they work with in the neighborhood. In response to the storm, they engaged the youth in this day program to participate in community service to help repair and rebuild homes and tents so that those who are living at the program site can find support.

The program site in Cite Soleil is alive and bustling. The new buildings that were recently constructed are paving the way for even more activity. When we arrived our first day of this trip, we found some of the children playing a soccer game, others crowded into a small building to get a peak at a television showing the latest match between Barcelona and Madrid, some weeding in the large urban garden that is growing vegetables and trees for a reforestation project, and cooks hard at work in their new kitchen building to provide the free meal of the day to participants. Pax Christi Port-au-Prince’s new ‘peace tap-tap’ is running a route each day and spreading messages of peace while making a profit to support SAKALA. Recently, their peace tap-tap was featured on a radio program in Haiti.

The challenges remain great. One of the head staff members of Pax Christi Port-au-Prince, Herode, has lost two cousins to violent deaths within the last month. Just last week, his cousin was part of a group trying to keep gangs out of his neighborhood and was killed as a result. In the midst of these tragedies, Herode continues to show up each day to show the kids in SAKALA a path of nonviolence and community engagement.

With these challenges in mind, at the forefront of the work being done through our collaboration with PCPAP in Cite Soleil, former President Jean Bertrand Aristide felt compelled to contact us during our visit and wish our collaboration, and all the members of PCUSA, well as we seek to walk with our Haitian brothers and sisters.

We’ve had the privilege of spending time with the staff of Pax Christi Port-au-Prince these last two weeks as they serve the youth and wider community through all their programs in Cite Soleil. They are in a process of professionalizing their organization, which started years ago as a group of friends and committed individuals in the neighborhood who came together to volunteer their time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they work to discern and implement new organizational policies and procedures to increase the effectiveness of their work for peace.

The collaborative work between Pax Christi USA and Pax Christi Port-au-Prince which aims to: 1) support and expand their peace education efforts in Cite Soleil, 2) develop the network of sustainable financial and relational support for Pax Christi Port-au-Prince, and 3) provide mentorship for Pax Christi Port-au-Prince in organizational and programmatic development and capacity building. You can support these initiatives by contacting Manuel Padilla (mpadilla@paxchristiusa.org) or Amy Watts (awatts@paxchristiusa.org) to learn more about how you can become involved. If you’d like to make a financial contribution, you can make out a check to Pax Christi USA and put “SAKALA” in the memo line and mail it to Pax Christi USA, 1225 Otis St NE, Washington, D.C. 20017.

Are you headed to Haiti soon and will be in Port-au-Prince? Interested in contributing time or energy to Pax Christi Port-au-Prince? Planning a future delegation or service-learning trip? Last month, Kim Redigan and Therese Terns of Pax Christi Michigan visited SAKALA and guest-taught peace education and sports activities as a way to build further relationships with the youth attending the peace summer camp. Contact Manuel or Amy (email addresses above) to investigate the possibilities for your group! Through funding from a parish in Virginia, Pax Christi Port-au-Prince will soon have guest house capabilities on-site so keep this in mind for later this year.

ON THE LINE: September edition features 30 Days of Peace, Caravan of Peace, Los Alamos story and more!

Posted on September 13, 2012 | Comments Off

Compiled by Johnny Zokovitch

Each month, “On The Line” features news items and announcements from around the nation featuring Pax Christi members, local groups, regions and partners. These are gleaned from articles in local newspapers, websites, magazines, and elsewhere.

ALPENA PEACE PEOPLE PAX CHRISTI GROUP SPONSORS 30 DAYS OF PEACE: From the Alpena News – “If participants in this year’s 30 Days of Peace take anything away from attending one of the multitude of planned activities, Sister Mary Hughes hopes it is inner peace. ‘My hope is that initially it will help people as individuals to find a peace within themselves and that will be spread to their relatives, their friends and their neighbors,” Hughes said. “If we have an atmosphere of peace within our community, it will spread. It will affect the leaders we choose for local and state, and our church and civic groups. It will affect the activities in the community and promote wholesome living.” On Sept. 14, An Evening of Poetry, Readings, Blues and Jazz will be held from 7-9 at Cabin Creek Coffee in downtown Alpena. Poems and readings promoting peace will be given by representatives of the local Pax Christi, a Catholic organization that strives to create a world that reflects the peace of Christ. ‘People come to this event who never come to anything else given by LARCC or Pax Christi, so if you have different things, you get different people,’ said Hughes of the wide diversity of events planned for the entire month.” Read the whole story here: http://www.thealpenanews.com/page/content.detail/id/522591/30-Days-of-Peace-initiative-coming-up.html?nav=5042

LONG-TIME PC-FLORIDA, MICHIGAN MEMBER PASSES: In late August, we learned that long-time Pax Christi USA member and local group leader Herb Bazur had died. Herb was 88 years old. Herb was active in Pax Christi USA for many years, including his local participation with Pax Christi groups and members in Michigan, Florida and Indiana. Known for his Pax Christi USA rose tattoo, Herb was often the center of laughter and joy at the many Pax Christi gatherings he and his wife Betty attended. Herb’s family writes in his obituary, “We will work to keep alive the memory of our charismatic and colorful Herb in many ways. He would encourage us to stop and smell the flowers, love our neighbors, walk with the marginalized, vote with poor people in mind, and spread joy.” Read more about Herb here: http://paxchristiusa.org/2012/08/27/obituary-herb-bazur-long-time-pax-christi-usa-leader-age-88/

Pax Christi Texas members participated in the Caravan of Peace in August.

PAX CHRISTI ST. CLOUD PROTESTS AT CAMP RIPLEY: From The Morrison County Record – “The exercises at Camp Ripley usually involve training soldiers and public safety agencies. But the exercises at the National Guard base Monday involved the constitutional right to free speech. A peace vigil/protest was held Monday by the Little Falls Partners for Peace and Occupy Little Falls in front of the gates of Camp Ripley. In addition to several demands, one of the group’s goals was to increase public awareness about the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), often called drones. Two factions with opposing views about war stood across from each other, both literally and figuratively, near the gates of Camp Ripley. Standing north of Highway 115 in front of Camp Ripley’s gates, members of the Little Falls Partners for Peace and Occupy Little Falls held what they termed a “peace vigil” and drone protest. About 14 in all, others were from the Brainerd Area Coalition for Peace, Women Against Military Madness from the Twin Cities, Alternatives to War, St. Cloud Occupy, Pax Christi St. Cloud and Alexandria Peace, joining the Little Falls contingent.” Read more at: http://mcrecord.com/archives/515939/exercise-at-camp-ripley-right-to-free-speech/

NCR ARTICLE ON THE PASSING OF JOSHUA CASTEEL: From NCR’s Tom Roberts – “The news, expected but dreaded, began to leak out on Facebook on Saturday night. Joshua Casteel had died earlier that day. He was 32. And the postings, which seemed endless, as well as those on the site of the Iraq Veterans Against the War and on Pax Christi USA all seemed to ache in trying to say some version of the same thing: How do we tell those who should know about this life of grace and courage, of holiness and unending search, of both consummate resolution and relentless questions? How did he fit it all into such a short time, and how do we explain that the world — the church, the state and beyond — needs to know of this life?” Read more here: http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/inspirational-soldier-turned-conscientious-objector-dies-lung-cancer-32

PAX CHRISTI NEW MEXICO REMEMBERS HIROSHIMA: From The Santa Fe Reporter – “Members of various activist organizations and local residents against nuclear weapons gathered in Ashley Pond in Los Alamos on Sunday. The rally, which was mainly organized by Pax Christi New Mexico and lasted all afternoon, celebrated the 67^th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. Dozens of framed pictures of victims and information about the bombing’s aftereffects were scattered around the area to pay homage to the victims. Organizers also established a live stream of the 8:15 am annual bell ringing in Hiroshima, Japan, the precise time the bomb was dropped in 1945. Father John Dear, an Christian anti-nuke activist nominated by Desmond Tutu for the Nobel Peace Prize, called the atomic bomb ‘the biggest sin’ and Los Alamos as its birthplace. ‘We gather here to repent that greatest sin,’ he told the crowd.

PAX CRISTI MICHIGAN SUPPORTS SCHOOL SALE TO MUSLIM ORGANIZATION: From The Detroit News – “An interfaith coalition plans to demonstrate its support Tuesday night for the sale of a school building owned Farmington Public Schools to a Muslim organization. The sale last year of the former Eagle Elementary School in West Bloomfield for $1.1 million has drawn protests from groups alleging the district showed undue favor to the buyer, the Islamic Cultural Association, which plans to open a school there. Taking ‘a stand against Islamophobia,’ coalition members plan to attend the West Bloomfield Township Planning Commission meeting, which is at 7:30 p.m. The commission is expected to consider issues related to the Islamic group’s construction plans for the site. Coalition members include Jewish Voice for Peace-Detroit, Pax Christi-Michigan, Detroit Meeting of Friends, Michigan Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Network, Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East, Michigan Coalition for Human Rights, Pointes for Peace and Michigan Coalition for Human Rights.

HAITI: New video features neighborhood initiative in which Sakala is partnered

Posted on July 2, 2012 | 1 Comment

from Manuel Padilla, Haiti Project co-coordinator

This is a video Soleil Leve produced. It is a neighborhood initiative that Daniel Tillias, Program Director of Pax Christi Port-au-Prince, is in partnership with in the same neighborhood of Cite Soleil. They are both helping each other and can be looked at as partly integrated work. It is all part of the shared work and shared positive progress that is happening in there. Just last week, part of Cite Soleil (the part Daniel works in) was upgraded from being a ‘red’ zone to a ‘yellow’ zone! That is very good news!

HAITI: Film review of Cite Soleil: Sun, Dust, and Hope

Posted on June 5, 2012 | 3 Comments

reviewed by Jim O’Callahan, Downtown Brooklyn Pax Christi

We learn early in Cité Soleil: Sun, Dust and Hope, that Cité Soleil is the poorest slum in the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere. The majority of Haiti’s 10 million people, live on less than $2.00 a day. This country of 11,000 square miles is about the size of Maryland and only 700 miles from Miami.

What remains unsaid is that Cité Soleil has been plagued with the stigma of being a fertile recruiting ground for thugs, para-militaries and gangsters. Because of vast corruption in the judicial system the rule of law is applied politically and only when convenient. Thousands languish in jails, sometimes for years, without being charged or tried. Cité Soleil is also a convenient outlet for random and indiscriminate violence on the part of both government and UN peacekeeping forces at times of social unrest.

Daniel Tillias is the Program Director of Pax Christi, Port-au-Prince. He works in Cité Soleil, primarily with children. When we meet Daniel he introduces us to SAKALA, a Pax Christi project originally conceived by him to keep young men from Cité Soleil out of gangs and in school, using sports as an incentive. In a country where soccer is a national obsession, SAKALA and Pax Christi have created a sports program that reaches more than 240 school age children. Their teams are competitive on a national level. The hook – in order to play for SAKALA you must remain in school and avoid gang membership.

The SAKALA teams are widely known as the peace teams because instead of having the names of the players on team jerseys they have the names of prominent peace activists like Ghandi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Mandela and even Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, who has visited Haiti manyl times on Pax Christi fact finding and human rights delegations.

Daniel Tillias is no stranger to violence. He has seen colleagues disappear, never to be heard from again. Still, Daniel carries on the struggle for human rights and the elimination of violence, drawing hope under the sun and amid the dust, drawing strength from the collaborative spirit of the Haitian poor.

We learn that in addition to the sports program, SAKALA maintains a feeding program and a program to clean up garbage dumps and turn them into urban gardens, using compost from human waste and turning it into agricultural fertilizer. The agronomy program at SAKALA is substantial and adds a strong element of sustainability.

For stateside members of Pax Christi the work of SAKALA and Pax Christi Port-au-Prince can hardly fail to be inspiring. For Daniel Tillias the seeds of hope and the possibility of non-violent change are everywhere – today Cité Soleil, then all of Haiti and tomorrow the whole world. Cité Soleil: Sun, Dust and Hope communicates this hope and demonstrates how an island of community in a sea of adversity can enhance the lives of its residents.

We can support the work of Pax Christi, Port-au-Prince with earmarked donations to the national office. We can also provide speaking opportunities for Daniel when he is in the United States to help raise funds.

PRESS RELEASE: Pax Christi film on Haiti chosen for New York Peace Film Festival

Posted on February 28, 2012 | 2 Comments

For immediate release

February 28, 2012

Washington, D.C.—Pax Christi USA’s received news that its film, Cite Soleil: Sun, Dust, and Hope, was selected for participation in the 5th Annual New York Peace Film Festival. Yumi Tanaka, the film festival’s creator, invited PCUSA to submit this short documentary on the current conditions of Cite Soleil and Pax Christi Port-au-Prince’s peace education work taking place there.

The Peace Film Festival is on Saturday and Sunday, March 10 and 11, 2012 at All Souls Unitarian Church located at Lexington Avenue and 80^th Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side (1157 Lexington Avenue, NY, NY 10075). The festival is being co-sponsored by the Peace and Justice Task Force of the Church.

Cite Soleil: Sun, Dust, and Hope will be playing at 1:55 pm, Saturday, March 10th at the above address. To see the entire schedule for the film festival, click here.

This year’s festival theme is “Reconciliation Efforts Throughout the World”. Pax Christi USA and Pax Christi Port-au-Prince both feel that our film perfectly reflects this theme.

Cite Soleil: Sun, Dust, and Hope tells a story about “SAKALA,” a peace education program started in 2007 by Pax Christi Port-au-Prince. It is a story of optimism and faith in the face of extreme poverty and hardship–the story of a program that challenges the way we see Haiti and Haitians see themselves. Our Pax Christi brothers and sisters in Haiti are in the act of promoting active nonviolence in one of the most marginalized neighborhoods in the Western hemisphere every day. Reconciliation, for them and for us, starts right in our own communities by bridging the divide of the perception of our differences and the reality of our collective humanity and interdependence. Yet these bridges must also be built between communities local and international. Pax Christi USA and Pax Christi Port-au-Prince are engaged in just this kind of relationship-building with each other in the hope that it will provide inspiration for others to do the same.

“I am thrilled the New York Peace Film Festival will be amplifying the voices of those in Port-au-Prince who are so passionately building a culture of peace,” stated film co-director Manuel Padilla. ”As the film festival is traditionally focused on the plight of those negatively affected by nuclear weapons and nuclear pollution, we are especially honored that the festival has selected our film in its expansion on exploring broader themes of justice and peace. We hope those who view the film are moved toward acts of solidarity with Pax Christi Port-au-Prince.”

HAITI: Report following SAKALA film event in Michigan in November

Posted on January 11, 2012 | Comments Off

by Amy Watts and Manuel Padilla, Haiti program coordinators

As part of the kick-off for promoting our new film on Haiti and the work of Pax Christi Port-au-Prince, Cite Soleil: Sun, Dust, and Hope, we were graciously invited by Pax Christi Michigan members Kim Redigan and Therese Terns for back to back days of presentations and showings of the film in November.

On Sunday, Nov. 20th, about 30 Pax Christi members and area peace and justice advocates gathered at St. Joseph’s Parish Center in Dearborn. We were very encouraged by the dedication of these workshop participants just days before Thanksgiving and occurring at the same time as the SOA events at Fort Benning. Bishop Gumbleton also surprised us with a visit and opened the gathering with a prayer for Haiti! We shared a bit about the background of Cite Soleil where Pax Christi’s work is being done and about how history, economy, stigma, and violence often work together to create seemingly impossible situations of intractable conflict and oppression. We then showed the 20 minute film to an audience for the first time and were excited to experience the enthusiasm it was received with. The peace education work PC Port-au-Prince is committed to inspired some of the audience to reflect on some of the parallels in inner city Detroit and how the program in Haiti could impact a response to local initiatives by the peace community there. At the end, we even received a few more invitations by other parishes in the area to plan future events for next year. This is exactly the kind of community building we were hoping for on our first in person outreach trip with the film! Afterwards, some of those at the event were kind enough to take us out to dinner and encouraged us and Pax Christi USA in our collaboration with Pax Christi Port-au-Prince. Thank you Pax Christi Michigan!

On Monday Nov. 21st, we spent the day at the University of Detroit Jesuit High School where Kim Redigan teaches. We served as guest speakers in 2 of her classes where we showed the film and took questions from the kids about the Haiti program and our experiences there. After school, the Just Peace club hosted us for their coffeehouse event. For two hours we spoke to the club about the intersection of sweatshop labor, human trafficking, economic systems, violence, and how these have, historically, found deep roots in Cite Soleil. This helped us to put into greater context, for the youth, the challenges of the PC Port-au-Prince peace education program. We sat and brainstormed ways for Just Peace in Detroit to connect with the kids in the SAKALA program. Several good ideas were generated and we will be following up with Just Peace to put these ideas into action! We saw, upon our arrival, that solidarity jerseys, matching those that the SAKALA soccer teams wear, had already been made by the Just Peace group and they wore them to this coffeehouse workshop for us.

We hope you have already gotten your copy of Cite Soleil: Sun, Dust, and Hope! If you are planning an event to show the film or would like to sponsor us to come show the film and speak to your group (parish, community, school, or other) please contact us at: Manuel@paxchristiusa.org or Amy@paxchristiusa.org.
