I am currently sitting in the airport of Miami at 11:30pm waiting for my connecting flight at 6:45am to Port au prince, Haiti. As an intern to Children’s Hope I am excited for the next week in Haiti. I am not sure what to expect and a million different scenarios are running through my head. My travels are support by many friends and family without them I would not be here. I owe the people a lot of hard work this week and I plan to deliver nothing less.
I want to tell you friends about all the hard work that the Sacramento State student club, Peace and Conflict International, did this semester. PCI held three fundraisers that raised $1,000 to aid Children’s Hope in their endeavor to ease the burden of children in Haiti. The spring semester in 2011 for PCI was a busy one with fundraising and weekly guest speakers but we all agree that in the end it was worth it. Now I take the positive energy and money provided by the club to a country in need. What are they in need of? Specifically I do not know but I will critically look at the situation with my best efforts and I will listen to the people in need. I hope to talk to those in need so I can understand what they would like change in their situation.
