They are a group of Catholics who come to the rescue for people in need. It was founded in 1987 by a priest of a church in Chicago. They made a charity to collect money to supply the kit they needed. For the people of Haiti, as soon as the comunity heard about it, they went inmediatly to the rescue. “I was in a conference about sustainable development when priest Thomas called me and ask me if I would like to come with him to the rescue for the people of Haiti, I said yes without hesitate” said Ben a volunteer of god community.

They arrived the day after the catastrophe. They separeted in several group to cover all the coast and started to help residents. They first supply them with food and medical treatments. Secondly, they started organasing the future plans for the reconstraction of villages. They asked for a big gym so that the homeless could stay for a few days. They also help families in the search of missing relatives.
