MIAMI GARDENS | Students from Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep's DAT - Diversity Action Team - attended "A Night of Light" at St. Thomas University Feb. 4 to celebrate the Solar Energy Initiative. The event was a collaborative effort of St. Thomas and Haiti Tec to provide energy to the cathedral of Port-de-Paix, the Diocese of Port-de-Paix, and the local community.
In 2006, St. Thomas University began an initiative to leverage its faculty research and student learning resources into Haitian-led, long-term socio-economic development projects in the region (including coffee development, artisan production, and sustainable energy initiatives).
