ChallengesContacting/ Staying in touch with

organizationsCommunicating/ Public speaking Relying on others Homesick

Discoveries It is hard to stay in contact and work with an

organization all the way in Haiti (wasn’t expecting that).

I do things at the last minute. Like being in charge of things. I enjoy helping others.

Skills I Acquired… Learned how to work with power point. Learned how to be more annoying than

usual. Staying persistent to get my approvals for events.

Future PlansHopefully work more with middle school students.Continue to support organization in Haiti.

BonDemen Haiti (BDH) A non-profit organization located in Haiti. It was founded in September 2004 and legalized
