A Voice of the Vincentian Laity: The Haiti Initiative and FamVin Homeless Alliance (Yasmine Cajuste)

A CWCIT interview with Yasmine Cajuste, project development manager for the FamVin Homeless Alliance (FHA) and former education coordinator for the Vincentian Haiti Initiative. A native Haitian who has been active in the International Vincentian Family since high school, Yasmine is also a wife, mom, and graduate of DePaul University where she earned her MA in educational leadership. (Learn more about the FamVin Homeless Alliance here: https://vfhomelessalliance.org) In this interview, she speaks, among other things, about her own personal story and what attracted her as a lay person to the international mission and work of the Vincentians...what she has learned through her role with FHA about homelessness—and the efforts to reduce it—across so many different parts of the world (FHA works on 6 continents)...how she and others in the Vincentian community support each other and "keep on keeping on" in work that seems, at times, overwhelmingly daunting.
