International Trends

Recently, the facet has supported STEM and STEAM education outreach in Jamaica and helping with target schools and community organizations.  This impactful work has resulted in recognition from the National Headquarters of The Links, Incorporated due to the marked increase in student enrichment and engagement. 

We have also collaborated with organizations dealing with human trafficking issues.  Haiti has been a haven for criminal activities including human smuggling, human trafficking and illegal adoptions and things have continued to decline over the past nearly 15 years since the catastrophic earthquake in January 2010. Human trafficking is a problem around the world and even in Detroit, Michigan.  We have also supported the Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women (IEEW) to address the issues of women through the IEEW program entitled, Peace Through Business in Haiti.
