I too was in Leogane last summer volunteering with HODR. Unfortunately, being in school gets in the way of long term service (for now). I would like to return to Haiti this coming summer and would like to experience working with another organization. I am having a bit of a tough time finding other organizations that would accept a group of about 10. I was hoping you might have come across some names during your time there. If so, would you be so kind and share the info with me? Thank you so much! Mojgan Hi Kristy,

As usual it sounds like you really earned your rest & relaxation. It is definitely interesting to hear about the work going on in Haiti. I admit that I would probably not last in those conditions, especially the excessive heat. With work from people like you that country should be able to recover to somewhat normal life eventually. It is sad to hear that all the donations may not have been going to the people who need it the most. Enjoy your break at home before heading off to South Africa.

You are obviously cut out for this type of work. Sounds to me like you have formed a great bond with the Hands On org – have you considered working for them or working in the volunteer sector?

Sorry I am taking forever to respond! It seems like a lot of you like the photos. I didn't take all of them but I really should try to make an effort to make this blog more photo-friendly. @frank Thanks so much for that link. I will have a listen soon. I am amazed at your story but not surprised at all. @thedame I'm looking forward to SA. If you have any tips or must-dos I would love to hear them. @don Thanks for the message! Two years is plenty of time to get things up and running. Just keep at it... slow and steady. I'm glad my earnings reports have motivated you. That's the effect they had on my a few years ago so it's nice to hear people getting inspired by them. @morgan That's awesome! I've always wanted to send some people their way so that's really cool. If you have any questions drop me an email. @andrea Glad you liked the interview. It was a bit awkward at parts because of some oddly timed questions but overall it was fun. I'm on Facebook but I don't really use it much. You can get me on Twitter @travoholic if you want to see what I'm up to. Or this blog, of course. @audrey Seeing people still living under sheets is sad, of course. It becomes infuriating knowing how much money has been pledged to help Haiti. I would love to know more about how the disaster relief and foreign aid machines work. I want to know more before I get too opinionated but things do seem to go really slow in their world. Lets have that beer somewhere in Africa! @brooke I would like to think logic will prevail and that I will stay in Africa and explore and maybe to some volunteering there because heading back to Haiti doesn't make financial or travel sense. But the reality is that I will be looking for some excuse to head back there and it won't take much to get me on a plane. So far I have no plans to go back but we'll see how things go.
