Five years ago, I landed to the US, my overall experience was a challenge, but I have learned to never give up and to be courageous. Presently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Public Administration at UNF, and I am currently a VISTA member stationed at the Arc Jacksonville as Volunteer Coordinator and Community Partner, and I am as well an academic Tutor at Florida State College at Jacksonville.
Not everyone is able to see, analyze and understand what it means to “be yourself.” I am myself, the expression of my thought, “Verba et Acta.”
I may not have the exact words to start my story, but I feel proud to be the author or part of an idea that becomes true and will continue to be true.
Volunteer Haiti is not a hazard, I have been helping people all my life, and I have inspired many to move forward as I lead by example. I believe in the power of words, and I believe in combining thought and action to inspire and motivate others.
It is said in the bible, “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, “Volunteer Haiti was an idea that I spread out in a seminar that I assisted in Orlando. For a lack of positive energy, the idea suffered two months until Ovilmar Anilus Junior, a friend of mine virtually pushed the idea to leave its forming stage. Meeting with Ing. Terry DeBriere, the idea started being true. Finally, the inputs of Gina Loiseau, Gilbert Lafortune, and Roguens Stinvil have us move to a higher dimension. Terry DeBriere has the credit to be a man of action in the story of Volunteer Haiti.
There is no need to repeat that Volunteer Haiti is “une idée qui s’impose,” but there is a need to call for the power of creative collaboration to make of Haiti a better and a safer place to live.
