Justin Smith: 'It's a great mission'

CAM president fell in love with helping Haiti 11 years ago

Only a dozen children showed up when a McHenry-based nonprofit first built a school in Haiti.

They couldn’t figure out why, said Justin Smith, the president of Catholic Assistance Missions since summer.

“Here we’re offering this free education and school uniforms and a hot meal a day, but down in Haiti, they use the children as a source of labor,” Smith said.
