My Mission Trip To Haiti

From early childhood, with the absence of chances and occupations in Haiti, few professions are accessible so I was constantly roused to be a pediatrician however amid my adventure in the US I understood the different imaginative vocations that were accessible and discovered my actual calling. I plan to begin by turning into a marketing advisor than opening my own particular inn and spa in Haiti, to invigorate the economy furthermore deliver occupations in the nation. I might likewise want to subsidize a shelter home/orphanage for the general population. Not many Haitians or from Haitian decent are heard throughout the world in spite of the fact that we are lovely individuals that are roused by one another and take pride in our traditions. My nation has given me the comprehension and consideration that I have today. I have seen my own family attempting to make ends meets and locals battling every day to survive. Given most Haitians are uneducated, education is one of the primary parts that Haitians anticipate free them from the weights of

On 12 January 2010 Haiti’s capital city, Port-au-Prince, was rocked by a 7.0 earthquake. Being that it is an island with minimal internal support, they have to rely on external sources in the world for help and rebuilding their own infrastructure. While there are numerous governmental and non-governmental organizations to assist, no one is better equipped for immediate worldwide response than the United States Army. We’ll look at the equipment the U.S Army had available and how they employed these assets to help the Haitian’s.

Being a member of a hard-working class and visiting Haiti, I’ve witnessed the socio-economic conditions that plague my community such as health shortfalls that could’ve been eradicated with education and ingenuity. Born to a Haitian immigrant, in a single parent home, I’ve learned to appreciate the structure and close-knit community that has shaped my outlook on life and define the person I am. In Haiti, every immediate neighborhood, every adult became your parent and transferred into every aspect of my life. This ideology derives from Haiti’s national saying “L’Union Fait La Force”, which means “Unity Makes Strength”. You could not pass a village or neighborhood in Haiti without a woman -- no matter the age -- carrying out food and a bucket

I want to use my education to help many people around the world who still needs helps. I want to help those people who are still struggling today in the non-wealthy area. Now, many people are living in places where there are doctors to help when to comes to health issues, but there are still some people out there in the non-wealthy area like in Laos who are studying every day. Some died because they didn’t know that there are other medicine other than their own culture kind of medicine. After I graduate from college I want to tell them that even in the Hmong Community, sometimes, the one who doesn’t know anything will have to come out of the comfort zone and lead the team. For example, in my family none of the girls go to college and there

When I was ten years old I gave some families in Haiti some clothes. Yes, I know every family has a clothes, but when you live in an area with people who have less then what you have it is sad. In the summer of 2012 my family and I went Haiti. Before that my mother told me to procure any clothes or shoes that do not fit me to put it in the box. Family members in Haiti would come to be able get any kind of item for their family. Every year my family would consolidate money, clothes, shoes, or toys to bring to Haiti. It would be a 3” by 4” feet box to fit everything people needed.

When I was eight years of age, I started to realize that there was an entire word outside of the town, state, and country that I lived in. I became concerned about the lives of others, even those that I didn’t know personally. I often thought “There are people in other countries that don’t even have enough water to live, and I am living an amazing life here in America”. Not only was I concerned for those people, but I took action to help them. It was then that I started a fundraiser to raise money for people that can’t afford the basic necessities to live in third world countries. To this day, I have been saving every penny I could afford to make sure other people can live a better life.

While I was growing up in Haiti with a happy family. I was a happy child, bad at home but I was a smart girl in school. My family was there for me when I need them, whether in a bad or good situation, they never let me go. Also, my family always found a way to keep a big smile in my face. They always knew what was wrong and right when I maked a bad decision. One day, all the happiness went away. My life became harder, I was scared, and sad. On March 20, 2005, I thought I was going to die. I became ill and had malaria symptoms. I missed school for two months. I could not sleep, eat or enjoy my childhood. The only thing I was able to do was stay in bed all day. It was good that I did not have to do my chores, but I realized it was boring and

I had never thought that one day I could leave my native country, Haiti. In August 2000, my father decided to move to USA with me. I really felt happiness and sadness at the same time. I was happy because I will go to a country with a better quality of life but I felt sad for leaving friends and relatives. Before leaving Haiti, three important things came up in my idea. Go to church, organize a party with my friends and family, and get to the airport with my Dad.

As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Ever since I was a young girl, I always desired the ability to help others: to make a difference in people's lives. Whether it was working with children, who I adore, volunteering at a shelter, or reading to the patients at a hospital, I have always wanted to

What do you want for your birthday? This question was the beginning of an everlasting memory. For my birthday gift I asked my parents for a missionary trip. They acceded and I got the blessing of joining my church on a trip to Haiti. Preparation for the trip included months of collection of provisions and donations. In addition, I took part in a puppet show and choreography. To prepare for these participations I had to assist to rehearsals every week. Aside from this, the church prepared various workshops for those of us who were taking part of the trip. The workshops provided us with information about the different situations and communities we would encounter as well as the precautions we would have to take in order to avoid diseases. Two

One week was just enough to reflect on my spiritual status. The trip to Haiti was a two pronged journey; spiritual and physical. Being my first time going abroad alone, as well as my first time going to a non-developed country, I saw and realized many aspects I wouldn’t have seen here.

The devastating earthquake has not only destroyed the tourism infrastructure, but also shadowed a future of the sector, changed people’s perceptions and demonstrated the destination image as an insecure and anxious. Although having moderate level of infrastructure in the country, Haiti’s tourism is a vital and increasing factor to the economic growth. Travel and tourism industries contributed to 7.4% of GDP and 5.8% of total employment of the country (ibid “USAID”). Improvement of the sector is very crucial for the country and Caribbean regions as tourism sector employs more than 65 thousand of employment in the country as of 2010 (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2010a).

Even as a young child, I knew I wanted to pursue a career that would allow me to interact with people on a daily basis. This deep-rooted love for others originated from the values instilled in me as a child; values of loyalty, dedication, and compassion. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have discovered what is truly important in life and the impact I want to make in my community. I have found I have a strong desire to serve others, to help them and to make a tangible difference in their lives. Over the past four years, I have had the opportunity to serve those in need in my community. Each year, I am involved in numerous service projects that bring food and clothing to low income families, as well as assist in the rebuilding and restoring of homes. Each Thanksgiving, I help collect food, organize donations, and distribute Thanksgiving meals to families who, otherwise, would go without. These service opportunities have taught me how to connect with individuals on a personal level, regardless of our differences in life experiences. I have learned the importance of service, human interaction, and most importantly, listening. My compassion for others, servant attitude, and ability to communicate with individuals from diverse backgrounds will help me to succeed in graduate school, as well as allow me to become an exceptional

I remember walking in the neighborhood in Haiti, and looking around to see the number of missionaries who were willing to served out there. I can reflect back to a moment when I looked into Rachel Montgomery’s eyes (a canadian missionary from Canada) through her eyes I saw a passion for helping others. Not that I knew her social background or her social class, I just knew that she took a call to action. And now It’s my turn to answer to the same call. Rachel took care of me like I was her own child and now it’s up to me to respond the same way. My pass experiences in life was not a misstep, and they don’t weakens me in anyway. Infact I feel like it was necessary to my situation, because it strengthen me as a whole, motivates me to be a helping hands, and forces to think deeper about the selfishness in this

In my sophomore year of high school, I applied for a spot in an exclusive class of only 25 students who help the special needs students at my campus. I was so excited to jump at the chance to be in a class, that to my knowledge, those enrolled would celebrate the students birthdays, take them to the Special Olympics, and be their confidant and companion. I wanted to join the class to do the same, but it wasn't until I was accepted that I realized how significantly the class would affect and change my heart. This class has redefined how I see myself because I know what I am meant to do with my life. I want to better the lives of Special Needs students because they have enriched my life and made it meaningful.
