Heading to Haiti

Earlier this week I was fortunate to be part of the conversation of how Global Hope, Haiti Partners and Schools Count Corp can work together in the upcoming year.  Projects include delivering supplies to Chicago Public Schools, painting or renovations there as well, Delivering supplies to New Orleans schools, and possibilities of building, and supporting schools in Haiti.  The promise of better educational environments for all students is so energizing!

While this Spring Break time, I will not be heading to New Orleans for the first time in years, I am excited at the prospects ahead of us.  I have pangs of sadness that I am not going to NOLA, but I will be heading to Haiti, Darbonne to be exact, the end of April.  I will keep you posted on the needs and encourage you to keep reading and educating yourselves, there are many in our own communities even.
