A parent and a child running past police carrying out an operation against gangs in the Bel-Air area of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After 13 years in Haiti, a Brazilian inter-congregational mission to a displaced persons camp on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, is about to be permanently closed due to the violence in the district.

A central part of their work was to monitor the development of malnourished children. They operated side by side with their mothers in order to help them generate an income, and also provided learning activities to the kids. After a few hours, in the night of that same day, another group of armed men invaded the building. The nuns described the second gang as “even more violent than the first one.” Even the missionaries’ car was taken.

Local women helped the nuns to pack and took them on motorcycles to another neighbourhood. After a few days, they managed to flee to the Dominican Republic and took a plane back to Brazil.
