Rebuilding Haiti, child by child

This video has so many things I love: organizations teaching children, cross-border collaboration, and – my mom, Dr. Susan Whitcomb. She founded Haitian Educational Initiatives after the 2010 earthquake. Listen carefully as she explains what HEI does and what keeps children from completing school, as she talks to the Haitian community in Connecticut! (Hint: can you guess her former profession based on how slowly and carefully she speaks?)

    Thanks, Brigitte – I am so proud of her! The website is http://www.haiti-edu.org/help/ – but I believe that you can only donate through PayPal from outside the U.S. (We are not as up-to-date with Bank Transfers as Austrians are!)
