HAITI
what did i do...
Summer 2013 & Summer 2016
Camp in a Box (also known as C.I.A.B.) is a summer camp put on by a team from California and a Church from Maryland in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. This camp is held for the children of "Mason De Lumier" (an Orphanage located in Delmas), as well as some of the local children, and is an opportunity presented to them to be who they are; KIDS! We pour out our love through games, art, music, competitions, and other activities. Due to poverty and other circumstances, the children don't often have the chance to just enjoy themselves; free of responsibility and worry.
Going to Haiti for the first time in 2013 (and as my first ever mission over seas) has forever shaped and changed my heart. Before Haiti, I was on the road to studying the animal sciences. After Haiti, I have found myself passionately pursuing Medicine with hopes of someday saving and bettering the lives of people around the world.
*And the journey doesn't end here. Forever connected to the children at Mason De Lumier, I plan to continue growing my relationship in the years to come.
Child Hope International seeks to provide care for the orphaned and create hope for families in Haiti, through Christian-motivated care, relationships, and training.
