With the help of my Spelman sisters, I was able to collect a large amount of jewelry. This was a great start. Elation began to fill my soul as I thought about just how many new boundaries I can set as I work on this drive. I recently contacted my old high school here in Mcdonough Georgia *Henry County High School* and hosted my drive there as well through the faculty and students. I was able to get a nice amount of jewelry from there as well.
Margaret Armoo-Daniels, who is the new second attendant to Miss Spelman saw some advertising for my drive, and referred me to the Haitian American Caucus.The caucus had hosted an alternative spring break where students from the AUC had the opportunity to travel to Haiti and work on different internships. She inquired about me so I got their contact information and began emailing and calling.
Two months later, I am now on a mission. Instead of sending my jewelry via mail, I will be traveling on an internship to Haiti through the Haitian American Caucus. In fact, I will sort of be creating my own internship because my project is about women empowerment and has not been done before. The task before me now is raising enough money to pay for the plane ticket and the stay, *$25 a day*
As of right now I plan on going July 30th- August 5th. Rebecca, one of the sight leaders, will be working with me as the date approaches to find designated shelters and to host a special event where the jewelry will be distributed. I thank God that something so small has been slowly expanding through the support of friends, family, and others who wish to lead and serve.
My next step is to raise the necessary funds, and sort through all of the jewelry *pictures coming soon*
