Following the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti, some people were not only considered with the well being of the people, but also those volunteering. FAU was fortunate to not loose any students to the fatal earthquakes, but only by a few weeks.
FAU sophomore, Kelsey Taylor spent her Christmas vacation volunteering her time at the Good Sheppard School in Pele, Haiti. The group of college students she traveled with built desks that were also used as benches for the school. As well as the desk they sang songs, did arts and crafts, and passed out goodie bags with clothes and toothbrushes.
Kelsey also visited local hospitals and orphanages that housed children suffering from AIDS, tetanus, and hepatitis, among many. She and the other volunteers fed, changed and shared love with all of the children. "Some of the babies just need to be touched, they need the feeling of love," said Taylor.
When asked about her trip Taylor said, “the people of Haiti are so full of love and grace. I know I helped change some people’s lives with this mission, but I don’t think they know how much they’ve changed mine.”
