Unable to travel to Haiti amid the protests, the Vassar Haiti Project persevered, instead bringing Haitian wares to the First Parish Unitarian Universalist in Arlington, MA.

March will signify the first time that I will travel to Haiti. As with other first time events, one can feel excited, scared, nervous, humbled, appreciative, hyped, and courageous all at one time. Perhaps, I am that plus more. However, the knowledge and experiences gained through the leadership retreat has prepared me more for what I think will be one of the most significant chapters of my life.
