NORTH EASTHAM - For nearly two decades, Nauset Regional High School teacher Lisa Brown has made annual visits to Haiti’s capital city, Port-au-Prince, with members of the school’s Human Rights Academy. Once there, the group boards a ferry and travels roughly 10 miles to the island of La Gonave, where they are greeted by locals with access to transportation. Depending on the size of Nauset’s traveling party, they load into a truck or hop on the back of motorcycles for an extended drive through the island’s mountains, continuing their journey until they reach the sparsely populated village of Matenwa, their final destination.
