The beginning

This is the story of the journey of 13 strangers, brought together by one thing – the desire to help others.

The setting is Haiti, 7 months after the devastating earthquake that killed over 220,000 people and left millions homeless.

Two locations:
Group 1 will be in Port-au-Prince: rebuilding St. Joseph’s school for Boys which collapsed during the earthquake.

Group 2 will be in Jacmel, a seaside port town, working to build a computer lab that will provide educational resources to the community.

Thank you for following along on our journey. I will be blogging for the next 2 weeks as will my two co-leaders Meryl and Ian and hopefully the rest of the group!

I invite you to join us on this journey by commenting and asking questions. We will fill you in on our perspective of what we see and experience. Welcome to Haiti!

  2. Just found your blog. So great to read your posts - and those of your co-workers! What great work you're all doing - both the physical labor and the connections you're making with people there - adding your energy to the re-building process. Thank you!!!
