I was fortunate to have a teacher who traveled to Haiti during the summer to work in an elementary school for Haitians, many of whom were orphans. After learning about the political and socioeconomic situation in the country, I started raising money to send one, and eventually two, children to school in Haiti each year. I’ve primarily done this by using my sewing skills to sell items and donate the profits to the Crosby Fund for Haitian Education. The Crosby Fund ensures that the money I raise goes directly to pay the tuition and fees of Phens Oltin (right) and Sophia Melissa Altidort (left).
