Januray 12th 2010. The earthquake. 300,000 dead. When I travelled to Haiti for the first time in 2005 I made some wonderful friends and was treated like family by so many. I had seen some of them living in circumstances that most of us in the US had never seen first hand. When the earthquake hit, nothing prepared me for a difficutle circumstance becoming even harder.
Recently, I met Que Osterval with an organization that is focused with two of the passions that I have been striving for the last seven years. Planting Fruit trees and water security. HATT(Haitianamericantreetrust.org) has given me the opportunity to help my friends in Haiti by working on a remembrance walk and walk-a-thon to raise money for long term susitaniable projects in Haiti.
January 14, 2012 will be a time to remember and raise awareness for the need for help to our neighbors in Haiti. Visit the HATT website for more info. I will be blogging about my participation in this event
