Beau-Champ a Free-Spirited Place

Here are some pictures about our cities

The town is a Christian mostly Catholic community like many places in Haiti. What makes its religious practices different, however, is that Voodoo dominates the spiritual lives of its people rather than Haiti's official religion, Catholicism. Visitors to the town have noted a Voodoo church, adorned with flags outside. And skulls of the dead are arrayed at the entryway of the building. The inhabitants of the community profess Christian beliefs but privately worship the deities of Voodoo as well.

Beau-Champ dwellers are curious, kind, and hospitable. They enjoy meeting tourists, especially Caucasians, whose light skin color is a source of fascination.

Haiti History in Picture

Life in Beau-Champ is not well-ordered and the residents like it that way. A small town market is always crowded, noisy, and chaotic. No restrictions exist on what the community sells or trades on market day, usually held on a Saturday. Bicycles and pick-up trucks are main modes of transportation in town. And they travel cautiously because roads are unpaved and -graded, a lack of infrastructure common throughout rural regions of Haiti.

The town does receive some healthcare services occasionally provided by Northwest Haiti Christian Missions (NHCM). The delivery of healthcare is yet another chance for residents to enjoy themselves. With sports equipment donated by NHCM, the kids compete in athletic activities such as volleyball and soccer.
