We are a group of local teachers who have been making annual trips to Haiti since 2005. Our focus is to support Haitian principals and teachers with intensive educational training. Our TLC (Teaching and Learning with Compassion) educators understand that learning empowers people to hope, believe and succeed. With compassion undergirding our efforts; our skills, knowledge and expertise has already had far reaching results. Rather than doctors without borders ~ we're teachers without chalkboards.

The wind
We leave July 3 to travel to Haiti. I am not with an organization. I'm a woman ... trying to make a difference one life at a time. Sometimes I feel I have lived for my moments with Haitian children: children crying and begging in desperation, on the street. I did,nt know that leaving ones mark on the world unfolds so easily. It is a gift to see how your skills and compassion for others can have such value in a fourth world country. It feels like a strong wind that passes quickly and lasts for ... moments cut into time ... moments that matter. I can make a difference in lives when I stop and feel that wind.
