What was it like to spend time in Haiti after the earthquake?
Humanitarian aid volunteers, Nancy Malone, Founder and President of Hands of Light in Action and HELL Michigan photographer Victor Banta, will be giving a presentation and slide show about their humanitarian adventure to Haiti.
It is hard to sum up, but I would say the trip was intense, rewarding, and very interesting! Some may have thought of it as sad to see all the injured people, but for me it was a very positive experience.
The first time we would visit a patient at the Love a Child disaster Hospital in Haiti, they had a lot of fear. But once we got them up and out of their tents which reached day-time temperatures of 110-120F, their attitudes would start to soar! The next time we came to get them up for a walk, they would be smiling and happy to get outside and walk down to the shade trees. The happiness spread throughout the hospital camp like wildfire. It was such an honor to be a part of the magic!
This fund raiser is free to the public and will be held on 6 March, 2010 at 6:30pm at the InSights Group in Brighton, Michigan.
