Communication is an important and vital tool throughout all cultures and countries. This is one of the many reasons why we chose to use the radio as our medium to educate the community. As a staff, we at “Andikape an Aksyon” have realized that sanitary issues are a problem when dealing with epidemics in our community. It would be wrong to sit back and watch as people’s health deteriorate. Andikape an Aksyon believe that it is our duty to take action by teaching our community. In the words of JFK, don’t ask what your community can do for you, but instead ask what you can do for your community.

Andikape an aksyon believe every child, man and woman with disabilities deserve to have fun, an education and are entitled to the same opportunities as all other individuals. Andikape an aksyon provides physical activities, education and social opportunities to people with special needs throughout Boston, Massachusetts and Mirebalais, Haiti. We have created a supportive community, helping to build friendships, and promoting communication, education, physical and mental strength.
