Hello there! Thank you for checking out my blog. Through this site, I can take you with me as I embark on an exciting journey, spending the next 10 months living and teaching in Croix-Des-Bouquets, Haiti as a Volunteer for The Haitian Project.

As many of you know, I just finished 4 wonderful years at Providence College, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, worked as an RA, and served in Campus Ministry in a number of ways, including as a student minister and singer in the Liturgical Choir.  Before PC, I spent my elementary and middle school years at Sacred Heart School in Groton CT where, among many other things, I forged a special place in my heart for the country of Haiti as we learned about our twin parish and sent school supplies and other necessities to Gran Bois each year and hosted Haitian priests from time to time.  As I grew in love for these people I had never met and a country I had never seen, I promised myself that someday, I would go to Haiti and help in person. 

So now I’m here, and this love of Haiti instilled by Sacred Heart and the love of Christian service instilled by PC are colliding as I prepare to give the next year of my life to serving in Haiti with The Haitian Project.  The Haitian Project is a non-profit charitable organization associated with the Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island which runs a Catholic boarding school just outside Port-au-Prince.  As a Volunteer, I will live at the Louverture Cleary School full time, teaching classes, leading extracurriculars, running and participating in development projects on the campus, taking part in daily prayer, and more.  

Thank you for joining me on this amazing journey! I will do my best to update as much as I can, though my limited access to the internet may be an impediment. I can only promise to do my best!

Love and prayers,

Amanda :)
