KAREN CHUNG
First Vice President
A native New Yorker, I have always had a deep passion for charitable work. After leaving Wall St, I became a registered nurse. I was captivated by Haiti while on a medical mission during the 2010 earthquake and met Georgeton (President and Founder of Another Haiti/Yon Lòt Ayiti). Motivated by their resilience and strength in light of their limited resources, I became a supporter of their empowerment through social impact, entrepreneurial and educational projects. Inspired, I went back to school and got my Masters degree in Nursing and is now a nurse practitioner. I am committed to the success of Another Haiti and look forward to fostering more impactful opportunities in Haiti.
KHYLIANA
Born in Haiti, Khyliana was adopted and came to the states at a young age. Growing up her parents instilled in her of never forgetting where you've come from. Working in the medical field she was inspired to go to Haiti in 2010 with her adopted mother on a medical mission after the earthquake. Since then Khyliana has continued to make her impact on empowering the Haitian people and help make Haiti a better place. On her free time she is involved in varies sports , enjoys arts and crafts, traveling and hanging out with family and friends. She truly believes in the mission and is committed to helping the people in Haiti.
DENISE ARRIGO
Secretary
As a retired teacher, I like to stay involved with people and enjoy volunteering and teaching English as a Second Language. Haiti and its people have captured my heart and I am committed to the mission of the Yon Lòt Ayiti/Another Haiti team to promote education and to help as many children of Ville Léogâne attend school. When not volunteering, I enjoy learning new languages, traveling the world and meeting new friends.
LISA (Elizabeth) CINCOTTA
Treasurer
Lisa joined our team the summer of 2017 in Haiti. Working with the children on a daily basis, she was excited to see their smiling faces and amazing personalities shine with each interaction. She left a part of her heart in Haiti. Lisa is happy to organize fundraisers and plan the best way to inject as much as we can into the community in order to help these children succeed!
Lisa works with two additional community charities in New Jersey where she lives spending any free time on, in, or by the water.
LIZ RESCINTO
Advisory Board
I’m a Jersey girl, born and raised. As a single mother of 4 (grown children now), I had the opportunity to share my love of Haiti with one of my daughters in January 2018. My love for Haiti began on my first mission trip in 2014. I’ve always been taught to share your blessings no matter how big or small they might be as you never know whose life it might change. I consider Haiti my other home and family. I plan to spend more time in mission trips, now that my children are grown . It’s always time to give back.

Our Work
Art Contest
Since 2012, we have held an art contest for children in the town of Léogâne, Haiti on the first Friday of August. We award 20 winners a bookbag of school supplies as well as a scholarship for 1 year of school valuing $380. We challenge our participants to draw and write about the change they want to see in their country and community. We allow children's voices to be heard. Although COVID and instability has prevented us from travelling to Haiti since 2019, we have funded food distribution events and hope to restart our art contests when able.
Art Program
We have run a summer art program as a vehicle for creative expression not taught in schools. For several summers, over 60 children walk to this art program for fun, skills and community.
