communal asylum

The spirit of service to our community has been introduced to Haiti by Marriott at the Communal Asylum (asile communal) in Delmas

Marriott International is carrying out its global initiative. 328,800 employee volunteers from 74 countries serve the community one day each year.

This year Communal Asylum was chosen. Volunteers visited the elderly, handing out food and toiletries.

Marriott Port-au-Prince's Peter Antinoph said, " . . . we seek to convey . . . the deep commitment of our company . . . . (and) help Port-au-Prince . . . become a space where life and activities are progressing . . ."

The first lady is in a visit to the communal Asylum to underline the current problems such as the damages that the 2010 earthquake inflicted on the building as well as issues related to over crowdedness. The communal Asylum of Port-au-Prince is located at Rue St Martin in the Haitian Capital and is currently the home of 56 elderly Haitians
