Hearts for Haiti

Haiti is a small country/island in the Western Hemisphere. They have a lot of natural disasters. Our project was to collect various supplies (school supplies, medical supplies, etc.) and then those supplies were sent to agencies in Haiti (mainly in the city of Gonaives which was heavily hit by hurricanes).

Tactics of Hope

Whether it was during my summer in Africa working to raise educational awareness among women about HIV/AIDS at health clinics, churches, and schools, or while visiting the orphanages in Phnom Peng, Cambodia, or helping to build a community plaza in Greece in honor of a young girl whose death had recently brought the town closer together...in all of these experiences, the greatest problem repeatedly I experienced among volunteers, NGO staffers, think tank policy advocates, social entrepreneurs, and other change makers is an information barrier.

Walk humbly

Destruction from hurricane Katrina and Gustov including, homes, churches, communities, and even beaches. We are trying to help people put there lives back togeather years later when the help is still needed more than ever. Homes are still laying in ruins. personal items are still strewn about yards and lives lay in shambles. We come and help with whatever needs to be done; painting, building, putting down floors, sealing, moving debris, and clean-up.
