Ever since the earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, campus organizations have been making efforts to help the victims rebuild their lives. It has been over a month since the disaster occurred, but Haiti still needs aid. As the topic begins to slip out of the media, it is important to keep in mind that it is only the beginning of a long rebuilding process.
It is easy as college students to walk about their daily lives, go to class, eat in buffet style dining halls, and fall sleep in their warm comfortable beds without thinking for a second about life across the globe.
It is easy to think that the devastation in Haiti has no relevance to Millersville students. However, part of being human being, is having compassion and taking action. Now, more then ever.
If you are even somewhat aware of world news, you have heard of the devastating earthquake which occurred in Haiti. With tens of thousands dead, and even more injured, the need for help is immediate.
Last week, “The Reflect and Connect Series” discussed charity, what that means for Haiti, and for those who are serving.
This month’s Reflect and Connect takes place on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 5 p.m. in the Ford Atrium. Maya Angelou’s poem, “The Sweetness of Charity,” will lead to a discussion on charity to gain support for the Haiti relief effort. Volunteer Central will be there afterward to allow anyone to sign-up who wishes to help. This is just one of the many active steps Millersville is taking in response to the crumbling aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.
