ACHIEVEMENTS
Paul Talbot has been working as a humanitarian aid worker for Haitians and Dominicans in the Dominican Republic for 14 years. Since 2018, I have joined the Association of Artisans of Peace International.
Concerts
It began with concerts organized in Rivière-du-Loup to help a school in Haiti: Corail (800 students). Already, this school received donations every year from the Capuchin fathers under the name Mission Corail Haiti.
Needs in the Dominican Republic
Then, as I was helping many Dominicans in poverty at the same time, I ended up devoting my concert profits almost exclusively to the Dominicans, since the requests from the Dominicans were becoming more and more numerous and I could choose myself to whom to give directly without an intermediary.
Monetary relief
The monetary aid collected is used to pay for:
Doctors, dentists and medications for serious and urgent cases.
The needs for food for the flood victims, drinking water, clothing, shoes were followed.
Later, perforated roofs, furniture, refrigerators, BBQs, tables, mattresses, etc.
There are also tuition fees for young people who want to continue their studies at a university or even at a trade school.
Finally, I financially support micro-enterprise initiatives in the Puerto Plata region ranging from Gaspard Hernandez to Sosua. Ex: honey house, barber shops, nail care, fishmonger.
