Fond Verette Page

Fond Verette is a village in the southeast part of Haiti, near the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.  It is a small village that exists in a dry riverbed.  In 2004, there was a flood in Haiti that killed about 240 people in the village area.  Holy Cross Parish is centered there, and a priest there named Father Belneau has helped get funding for the people to help them rebuild.  One of the projects that Father Belneau is working on is to get land on higher ground to build homes.  If he gets $100 to buy each plot of land, a foundation will build houses on the land.  There are quite a few people that lost their homes in the flooding.  Most of the area where the homes were is now covered by up to fifteen feet of rock.
