The most amazing part about being in Haiti was working with the kids. French Creole is the official Haitian language but with out even the crutch of basic French, my conversations with the children were lim ited. However you didn’t have to speak the lingo to connect with these kids. They w anted affection. Maybe it was the fact that they had so little that made a hug feel so big. Also re member the humidity there is so thick that I worked up a sweat tying my shoe. Back in the states this would have kept people at least an arm’s length away trying to avoid the smell because you were sweating through your shirt. But these kids didn’t care. They would jump on your back or grab your hand just because they wanted to be near you. They radiated an openness that can’t be put into words. For some, you could see in their eyes that they were hurting some how, but yet they were still trying. It didn’t take a single word for them to touch your I wish that I could say that since I ’ve been back I have cut out all the lavish amenities in my life. I wish I could say that I’ve devoted every spare minute to helping others, but I can’t. I’m no saint; no one can be. However you can change your perspective. For me it was realizing that it doesn’t do any good to feel guilty for what you have, it’s all about using what you have to help when you can. Maybe you won’t save the world, but I guarantee a little bit of generosity can change someone’s life. Through Novem ber 14 toy drive drop boxes will be available at Bank of Eastern Oregon and the Forest Service. The Colline Foundation is the organiza tion I went to Haiti through and, as two of the co-found ers are of Haitian decent, they know where these toys will be best distributed. The kids love soccer and we will be sending a few air pumps so balls that aren’t blown up yet would be great because they would take up less space. Please no battery powered toys.
