A Florida church group that was stuck in Haiti during violent riots will tell their church’s congregation about what they learned.
A week ago, Haiti’s government announced a sharp rise in fuel prices, sending the country into turmoil. There are people protesting in the streets, smashing buildings and setting fires.
The 28 member of the youth group at Woodlands Community Church in Bradenton were staying at a compound 30 miles away from the capital, where the riots were happening.
When the group tried to get to the airport, they were blocked by burning tires and protesters demanding money. The group decided to turn around and stay a few extra days.
Now that they are home, they will be talking about their trip with the church congregation Sunday.
