Two Haitians on an internship in Canada

26 August 2023

In order to train technicians in technical landfill management (LET) for the Bioenergy Haiti project, Biothermica organized the visit of Ms. Mildrène Saint Louis and Mr. Josué Silvestre, following a series of interviews. For its part, the partner Terre des jeunes was responsible for welcoming the trainees and communication between the Canadian and Haitian teams. The internship, which had to be condensed for visa and budget reasons, took place from May 3 to June 5. During this period, the interns accompanied the Biothermica specialists during operations on various technical landfills in Lachenaie, Mascouche and Quebec. They also read a lot of technical documentation. At the end of the internship, they made a presentation in front of the team. Ms. Saint Louis and Mr. Silvestre were delighted with their training, an unexpected opportunity to train in Canada in a field where specialists are rare in Haiti. We wish them good luck!
