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!

Press release - Second cleaning campaign Operation Punch in Gonaïves

21 December 2018

Gonaïves, Haiti, December 19, 2018 - It was on December 17 that the second Operation Punch Against Waste in Gonaïves began, a project initiated by Bioenergy Haiti (BEH) in close collaboration with the City of Gonaïves and carried out thanks to the financial participation of the Government of Quebec, as part of its International Climate Cooperation Program (PCCI).

Operation Punch was a great success last year and provided a clean city for the many visitors who flocked to Gonaives for Carnival. This year, the Operation will run for two weeks until December 30. A cleanliness patrol, with 50 officers dressed in a BEH t-shirt, and accompanied by several collection vehicles, will roam the streets of Gonaïves to collect waste. However, for the Operation to be a success, all citizens are invited to participate in this operation by cleaning the courtyards, driveways, sidewalks and grounds around their homes. Citizens can collect their waste in front of their homes and the agents will pick it up. In addition to cleaning up the city, the operation aims to demonstrate the commitment and presence of the town hall and BEH who will work in the coming years to replace the La Saline landfill with a new modern landfill site located in La Hatte -Rock.

Who is Bioenergy Haiti (BEH)?
