...Here's a group for you to connect with!
Email I receontly received:
We remember and honor those who lost their lives, limbs, friends and family in Haiti during the earthquake, eight years ago today.
Thank each of you for work on collaborative projects in Haiti or support those who work there.
I submitted the following to the News and Observer, a newspaper in North Carolina.
“I have friends and associates who include a law professor at Duke, a research scientist at NCCU with a grant for his work to cure cancer, and an English professor at UNC.
Associates include doctors and nurses, teachers and students, preachers and priests who heal, educate, and support all of us. We have friends who were orphans with little education who work two or three jobs to provide for an education for their children. Some are from Haiti who live and work in the United States.
Others are Americans who work in Haiti. Many spent days digging family and friends from rubble in the earthquake, eight years ago today. Some Haitian ancestors fought beside Americans for freedom during the Revolutionary War.
We strengthen our communities. And we are thankful to know and work with one another.”
