Is it safe for me to travel to Haiti right now?

HAC-Haiti’s compound is located in the community of Croix-des-Bouquets, about 45 minutes northeast from the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The setting is rural and the compound houses a school to which many people in the community send their children. HAC-Haiti enjoys a positive relationship with its immediate community. In addition, the compound is enclosed by a wall and gate which is generally kept closed and locked throughout the day except during brief peak times, during which our program participants/students are attending various meetings/lessons. However, it should be noted that the U.S. State Department has issued a Travel Warning for the country of Haiti. For more up-to-date information on alerts/warnings as well as statements from the U.S. embassy in Haiti, please visit http://travel.state.gov.
