	 fee, of which $100 is refundable with the receipt in our office of a reflective report subsequent to the work camp 
	experience. 
	
	Note: This program is unlike any that Volunteers For Peace has so far offered. The emphasis is on education, the 
	numbers of volunteers is small and the people sought are seniors. We believe it will offer remarkable opportunities 
	for service as well as learning and may soon be the prototype for more programs like it.
	 
	Please submit applications to Amy at vfp@vfp.org . We will forward applications to Dr. Belenky for approval.
	 
	Theme: Teaching in an orphanage, a learning exchange sponsor: Le Foyer des Filles de Dieu, an orphanage for 
	girls, infant to adult, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This is a well-functioning residence, school, and affiliated community 
	medical clinic.

	personal relations with the children is what counts. Small group setting.
	 
	Languages: English or French.
	 
	Accommodations: Volunteers will pay for their own room and board in a comfortable guest house with a constant 
	stream of interesting visitors. They will be transported by taxi to Le Foyer each day. Spending an occasional night 
	at the orphanage itself may be possible.
	 
	Leadership: Director of Le Foyer is Mme Paula Thybulle, a Haitian-American social worker. Staff members will 
	assist. Retired American child psychologist (VFP Advisory Board), Robert Belenky, will the there to help. Bob has 
	much experience volunteering in Haiti and has led projects there in the past.

	economic and political issues. Trips to the beach - sometimes with the children. Learning the language of Haiti, 
	Creole,  as taught us by the children.

	country transportation - $10 per day.
