Yesterday was a momentous occasion for AMURT-Haiti. We inaugurated our new office in Port au Prince. For the last several years, the majority of AMURT's projects have taken place in the rural northwest. Water, health, road, education, agriculture and women's projects have been going strong. Since the earthquake, however, the AMURT team has strengthened its presence in the capital. The child protection and education projects have employed over 250 local people and served more than 4000. Our new office in Port au Prince is a testimony to the years of hard work, sacrifice, service and dedication of the many people who have built the projects since the very beginning when AMURT started out with a few volunteers and a bicycle.
