    What are the best sources of information to help instruct an American mission team going on a 1 week mission encounter to Haiti on Haitian culture?

      Great question. I’d start with the Wikipedia articles

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Haiti

      After that the biggest things I’ve noticed has been the population density and poor infrastructure (water, electric, roads, healthcare). That’s what typically gets people’s attention before the actual culture.
