One day that I had travelled to Haiti I was extremely sadden to see a young man walking but I could not see his feet because there was no difference between the mud he was walking in and his barefeet. I knew if he had the opportunity, this would not be the way he would want to look. Then, after the four devastating hurricanes that ravaged some towns in Haiti in 2008, I took the opportunity to start what I always wanted to do -- make a difference by serving the people with dignity, lifting them up from where the status quo has always kept them. Without the help of Regine Shariff of John Hopkins University my first humanitarian trip to Haiti would not have been the success it was. Regine enlisted the participation of Amethyst Auza, Ashley Jaramillo, Precious Fortes, Lise Anne Bonhomme and Sylvia Moten who were instrumental in collecting medical and food supplies which were distributed directly to people who needed them. I began to work with existing institutions in Haiti, namely by supporting the Asile St. Jean, a home for the poor in Petit-Goave. Then came January 12, 2010 A terrible earthquake destroyed Port-au-Prince and many small surrounding towns. That motivated me to extend my humble assistance to other areas such as Cite Soleil Helping each other participate in a better development of Haiti should be the new way. |
