Meeting with Congressman Jim Langevin to discuss Humanitarian and political crisis in Haiti
We were joined by other Haitian community leaders in RI to meet with Congressman Jim Langevin on November 7th, 2019 to discuss about ways Congress can contribute in bringing peace and stability to Haiti as the county has been experiencing a chaotic humanitarian and political crisis for the past 8 months. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful Congressman representing the state of RI in Washington.
