The 5 and Diamond Harlem kicks off 2012 helping Haiti

haiti2010:

Saturday, February 5th 6-9pm I will be holding an info session about my volunteer experience while in Haiti (December 6th-14th), which will include going through photos and speaking about my day to day experience.

 As an overview, I will visually and verbally be sharing:

1. The different projects our GVN 17 person volunteer team carried out
2. Observations as a designer and new comer
3. Different organizations I recommend volunteering through, that I met while in Haiti or know through the Boston community.

Hoping the evening is conversational, where questions are asked throughout the presentation.

The intent of this info session is to share such a moving journey in the hopes to inspire others.

Come enjoy some mango juice and cultural vibes!
