We met very interesting people while we were in Haiti. Two of the most interesting people we met were the founders of this cultural center Ayiti Vilaj (click above for the link). These two young men founded Ayiti Vilaj as a way to promote Haitian culture to foreigners and Haitians alike. They carry out classes and workshops on Voodoo, Haitian drumming, folkloric dancing and the creole language. They also travel to regions related to these studies.

“Village Haiti exists to transmit knowledge of Haitian culture through educational and social programs.

We work to contribute to the expansion of Haitian art.

We collaborate with groups that are engaged in launching and executing work in Haiti’s touristic zones to help each area better carry out its cultural and tourism activities.”
