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.

According to the

it has accom plished the

The planning commission
