Regina Lynch, head of ACN Internationals projects department, has attended the conference entitled “The Communion of the Church: Memory and hope for Haiti 5 years after the earthquake” in Rome. The conference has been organised by the Pontifical Commission for Latin America and Cor Unum in collaboration with the bishops of Haiti. The participants in the conference have been received today by Pope Francis in audience. Around 230.000 people were killed and up to 3 million others were affected by the earthquake which struck close to the capital, Port-au-Prince, in January 2010. The aim of this one-day conference was to review the reconstruction efforts that have taken place over the past five years and to express the Pope’s ongoing concern for those who continue to suffer as a result of this natural disaster.
