Haitai Miracle

I was 12 years old when I first went to Haitai. One of my first experiences is this story. I love Haiti and have a passion to help it. If you did not know, Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. This country needs a lot of help. Haiti is one of the vudu capitals of the world.

My brother and I were coming back from an orphanage in Haiti and we saw a man that desperately needed help. He was mentally insane and was naked and has been walking the streets for five years. The leader of the orphanage we stayed at is such an amazing woman and filled with the spirit, compassion, and love of Christ. She pulled over and we knew we had to help this man. We all asked each other, “ what do we do?”

    American soldiers were sent to reinstate the country’s democratically elected government, and to strip away power from the military junta that had deposed it and ruled for 3 years (pg.3). Politics can affect the health of Haiti. In chapter 1, the hospital refused to treat sick prisoners. Nine soldiers are clearly not even to try to govern 150,000 people in Haiti. The health of the people will not improve with so little of help.…

    Haiti lifeline was developed to give hope and help to what began at just an orphanage that has now expanded to an entire community. The health care structure is so corrupt that the Haitians begin begging for help upon the organizations arrival. However, with the amount of supplies and time, it was impossible to treat everybody, which caused a whirlwind of emotions that made a lasting impression. Following a week in Haiti, it is time to reflect on the organization that made everything possible, the health structures, and the impact of the trip. Haiti Lifeline was established in 1999.…

    Have you ever loved someone so much, you’d give an arm for them? Not the expression, no literally give an arm for? Growing up in Haiti with my brother, I remember teasing and pushing him around, because thats what big brothers are supposed to do. One of the things I remember most vividly about him was waking up every morning to play soccer with a tennis ball we found, and racing each other all through town with our hands behind our backs pretending we were cars. Everyday wasn’t always perfect, like those days we spent chasing each other because we fought, just like all siblings, and I didn't always appreciate having a younger brother.…

    On a blazing hot afternoon, I was with my Peer Ministry. It seemed like our whole group, interacting with the sizable population of homeless on the streets of Riverside, CA, was working like a fast food crew; we were distributing food from our cars at a superhuman pace. This activity seemed like any ordinary job our group did together — until I handed a brown paper bag to a homeless African American man. His expression registered shock. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, “Son, how did you know I needed help?”…

    Divine Trust Trusting in a divinity isn’t as easy or straightforward as it sounds. I can most definitely attest to this. As a person raised in the Christian church I have not only have I lived this statement, but over the years I’ve seen it in the lives of various friends in my youth group. I continue to see this struggle to trust throughout the plot of “The Odyssey” by Homer. The protagonist Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and Odysseus’ ship’s crew all are prime examples.…

    I think we can all agree on helping someone in need is all of our responsibility. You have to be pretty twisted to turn your back on someone that in a dire need of assistance and not provide them aid. I would be the first to jump at the opportunity to help where I could. Anything that I could do to Assist Pastor Abraham, I would do with an open heart. I have a soft spot for people in need.…

    Volunteering at the homeless shelter is one of my favorite things to do. A few weeks ago, on a serene Saturday morning, my family and I volunteered at Loaves and Fishes. It was special to see just the sheer amount of people who had come out to volunteer on that Saturday. If you think about, they could’ve been doing anything on that Saturday morning. Yet, they decided to help give back to their community.…
