This framework goes beyond the opening of the library, because it covered various social projects between the two partners in disadvantaged areas [...]" said the Director General of MAST who transmitted to the youth of Bel-Air and its surroundings, a message of brotherhood and solidarity of Charles Jean Jacques, Minister of Social Affairs. According to him, the public library that the MAST will apply to build, is the crucible of great ideas on science, technology and vocational training.

He focused in particular on St Marc, Cap Haitien and different towns of Port-au-Prince, whose Martissant and Bel Air [...] the displacement of accommodation camps and rehabilitation of Vincent Gymnasium were the main areas of intervention" ensuring the population of the active presence of the USAID in Haiti, despite the fact that the HRI comes to its end.
