David is service oriented and has served in many volunteer capacities. Having grown up in Port-au-Prince he is painfully familiar with the difficulties many suffer in Haiti. He is excited for this opportunity to give back to the country of his birth and to his fellow Haitians.
Mr. Cameau studied "Construction Management" at Utah Valley State College. He resides in Provo with his family. He is currently working on introducing his little son Gabriel to the finer things in life including "kompa" (Haitian dance music) and "Jasmine rice".
Even though David has lived in the US for the last 16 years he will proudly declare he is of Haitian heritage. In his own words "Out of all the foods Haitian food is really the best". He also lauds the superiority of Haitian music, dancing and ingenuity.
