Haiti Recap

Hey Everyone!  I am home!  Not just from Haiti, but from DC as well.  I slept in my own bed last night for the first time in two and a half months.  I was only supposed to be gone for a week in DC for interviews to go to Afghanistan, but it turned into the craziest adventure of my life!

Upon arriving at the airport in DC a couple days ago I spoke to the youth mayors group about Haiti and how they can get their schools involved in the campaign to Live for Haiti.  Then I flew out in the morning to St. Louis with the Haitian Ambassador Raymond Joseph and his wife.  We spoke to students at Saint Louis University (SLU).  It was a great event and inspiring to see how much our young people are energized to continue living their lives in service to the Haitian cause.  Now I am back at home exhausted and recuperating.

Here is a video recap of the crazy adventure that has been my life for the past 2 1/2 months.

I have to commend you man. I live in B-more and was trapped at a house with no electricity during the storm. I thought the cold would kill me. You have an amazing committment to what you do and it is inspiring people everywhere. Look me up when back in DC, I work here every day.
