Preparing for the January Trip!

Here's our first blog post - the first of many.  We hope you are as excited as we are (for this blog but mostly for our trip to Haiti).

To prepare for Port-au-Prince we have been meeting weekly.  Our meetings have covered Haitian development issues, international development in general, Haitian history, and pre- and post-earthquake Haiti.  This week, on Friday December 2nd, we will be hosting a Haitian speaker from the National Organization for the Advancement of Haitians (NOAH).  Hearing about Haiti from a Haitian is going to be an invaluable part of our preparations for the trip.

Stay tuned for information on our group members and more updates on our trip preparations!
