Going to Haiti  was, definitely, not what I had expected. In the five days I was there, I got to enjoy a little bit of the country, its people, and its languages–it is amazing that such a small (and poor) country uses three languages. The Haitians seem to have such a big heart.

Once again, I was blessed with the opportunity to spend a week with the biggest hearts and hardest working hands one could imagine. July 2011 marked my third trip to Haiti. Each trip opens my eyes and my heart to new experiences, things that just can’t be explained with words. Day O

When I decided I to go to Haiti, I had no idea this experience was one that would change me forever. Days leading up to this trip, I tossed and turned at night worrying about how I would be able to emotionally handle this experience.  I was scared but my desire to bring joy to the pe

Last year the thought of visiting Haiti was just that, a mere thought.  Now, I’ve been to Haiti three times in seven months.  Haiti has become my home away from home.  While the unfortunate realities in Haiti remain the same, I continue to take something new away from each mi

After traveling on the medical mission trip to Haiti, I now view life a little more differently than I once did.  Prior to the trip, to me the definition of beauty used to be based on appearance, success used to be based on what you have, and wealth use to be based on the amount of m

I have been in many mission trips in the past, but none as enriching as this one. People for Haiti provided me with not only an opportunity to help the locals in need, but also experience the warmth, resiliency and great spirit of those who have been through so much.  We saw close to

What an enriching experience!! I have to thank Guiga and Tammy (People for Haiti) for allowing me to participate in such a wonderful experience.  Their commitment to the children at the orphanage and to the people of Haiti is remarkable and exemplary.    The trip I took with Peopl

Haiti was an experience I will never forget.  I have volunteered for many causes in the past, but this one is the most memorable.  From the moment we landed, I knew I was in an impoverished society.  Leaving the airport, I will never forget seeing so many people and so much poverty
