After three years, I’m about to embark on another trip to Haiti. This time I’m allied with a California Lutheran University club SEEdS. (Students for Enlightenment and the Education of Sustainability) for Haiti, headed by Ryan Glatt, an Exercise Science Major from Simi Valley. In all, 12 students from CLU will be heading to Haiti to do permaculture, and construction projects from Dec. 27 to January 17. Due to family obligations, I’ll only be spending five days with the projects.<\/p>\n
The student club will be working with Hands of Light in Action (HOLIA), a charity that has responded to disasters in Haiti, Washington, Illinois, and Boulder, Colorado. HOLIA was founded by Nancy Malone, a physical therapist.<\/p>\n
More information is available on the trip in a news story on the CLU website at http:\/\/www.callutheran.edu\/news\/news_detail.php?story_id=10202<\/a> and in a Maria Sanchez podcast consisting of an interview with Ryan Glatt at http:\/\/mariasanchezshow.com\/ryan-glatt-clu\/<\/a><\/p>\n I’m excited about the opportunity to accompany CLU students on a service project of their own creation, rather than recruiting them to travel study courses that I have originated, albeit with a service component.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After three years, I’m about to embark on another trip to Haiti.
