Generous. {delaware senior portraits}

I shared a few of my favorites from Wynne’s beautiful senior session recently, but I thought I’d share her video!!

Wynne and her mom are leaving on a relief mission to Haiti soon – a wonderful and generous journey! If you’d like to help, donations are greatly appreciated – and desperately needed!!!

A little about HFI:

WHO THEY ARE:

HFI is the Haitian Family Initiative, itself an offshoot of the Haitian Delaware Alliance – the alliance is committed to long-term (think decades) aid to help Haitians improve their lives. HFI was formed to provide psychosocial support to the women and children in Jacmel, Haiti. While the immediate disaster needs were met in the months after the Jan 12th earthquake, there are severe and on-going issues with basic life necessities. This situation is compounded by the stress and anxiety of meeting their daily needs and the terrible psychological damage from “the tremble”, as the Haitians call the earthquake.

WHAT THEY WILL DO:

To meet some of these needs, dozens of Delaware volunteers including teachers, doctors, nurses, mental health workers and others are providing a seven week program in Jacmel comprising three parts – summer camp for children/ medical clinic for the tent city/ psychosocial wellness programs for women and teens. The first week of camp just finished today- during this
past week more than 100 children participated in the camp each day/ more than 300 people showed up for the first day of medical clinic and the camp is providing hundreds of bowls of protein rice and water to women and children daily as the food supplies in the Jacmel tent city are almost non-existent. The hurricane season starts in two weeks.

Open your hearts… As Mother Teresa said ”We do not need to do great things, just small things wtih great Love”
