Haiti is My Heart

    Haiti is my heart. I first traveled there in 2001.  I always say that I flew in one person and flew out another person.  It changed me on a deeply visceral level.  After that initial trip, I went back as often as I could.  Being a teacher, I was fortuitous enough to have summer breaks and long holiday vacation.  So in those times, I went to Haiti.  I didn’t go to help poor, suffering Haitians.
