The Global Haiti Initiative umbrella organization is offering trips this summer with the Colline Foundation. Each chapter offers trips of their own, such as FSU's chapter to New Life Children's Home orphanage.
Summer Volunteer Program
Colline Foundation facilitated a summer camp for over 150 children
in the summer of 2010. Many of them have never attended school, some
have lost their homes and some have even lost their entire families in
the January 12th earthquake. We have seen first-hand the effects of a
visit from caring individuals to take part in the lives of the children
and how they benefited greatly from the exposure to volunteers
of good character and a giving spirit. The children, during the summer
camp, have forgotten their troubles and focused on learning from and
communicating with our international volunteers. We had lifted their
spirits and made sure that they were fed everyday during our time with
them; all the while giving them basic language and mathematics skills
through our educational workshops. Furthermore, with your help, Colline
Foundation can continue working with children in Haiti, by bringing in
caring volunteers from around the world to carry out youth based
initiatives.
