On the pages of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/action%20for%20a%20united%20world%20website\/\">Action for a United World\u00a0News<\/a> the spotlights still shine on areas where the others have been spent,  and they contintinue to show how reconstruction goes on in this country  which is perhaps the poorest of the Northern Hemisphere. AMU\u2019s  commitment, as that of other NGOs, is precious because it continues on  after the initial crisis when the attention of public opinion began to  wane and frustrate the initial successes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Through a local organization \u2013 Action contre la Pauvret\u00e9 (PACNE) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azionemondounito.org\/english\/home.asp\">AMU<\/a>, the New Families and Youth for a United World Movements, support a project for building a welcome center for displaced people<\/strong>.  The work is already in an advanced stage and moving along with the  installation of the utilities, like water. The selection of  beneficiaries for the project is in the care of a committee which  includes members of PACNE and representatives of the local community,  such as the mayor and local pastor. Priority will be given to the most  needy persons among those who, having lost everything, have fled to Mont  Organis\u00e9, the area in which the welcome center has been built. Once  these persons are able to return to the city or to more permanent  dwellings, the building will be used to welcome the elderly, the sick,  or persons who are alone.\u00a0 Everything will be managed with absolute  transparency by a specially elected commission. Obviously, the need and  the difficulties are enormous and it will take years before the  infrastructure and the economic system are able to\u00a0 completely respond  to the the needs of the people. For this reason, Amu will continue to  evaluate new proposals and projects, which we will continue to report  on.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly 9 months since the earthquake that devastated Haiti, the work of reconstruction continues on the Caribbean Island, even when the spotlights have been turned away<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-290438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-categorizzato"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290438\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
