Dr. Manol Isac, Board Advisor and International Consultant

Manol, who served us for the last 5 years as our in-country Executive Director, is leaving HUFH to pursue other interests, but we are excited to welcome his continued assistance as our International Consultant and Board Advisor. Manol’s continued hopes for HUFH include:

“I believe the mission is possible by supporting the efforts of everyone in Haiti and elsewhere working in this positive struggle to fight against malnutrition, allowing the vulnerable to have access to health care and considering the importance of health indicators when we know Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

“Let’s fight together, converging our focus with the Haitian staff is the essential way to make things happen as it supposed to by keeping the same strategy, which is the fact of leaving the Haitian staff to produce under our supervision what they can to the well-being of everyone.”
