In February 2013, Hope for Haiti had the pleasure of attending the Government and Non-Profit Career Expo in Washington, DC. Hosted by Georgetown University, the Expo is an opportunity for organizations to meet and share information with motivated students and alumni from a consortium of schools including the University of Virginia, the University of Richmond, New York University’s Wasserman Center for Career Development and the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the College of William & Mary, and Swarthmore College.

Current Deputy Country Director, Paula Prince, and Program Director, Jennifer Lang, both made the trip to Washington from Haiti to speak about our mission and work in education, nutrition, healthcare, and community development. Jennifer first joined the Hope for Haiti team after meeting fellow alumni at the Expo in 2011, current President & CEO Tiffany Kuehner and former Program Director Patrick Eucalitto. The Expo allowed Jennifer and Paula to speak about their experiences living and working in Haiti for the past two years with over 60 young people.  After speaking with such a variety of talented and enthusiastic individuals, the future looks bright.

In addition to recruiting for current part-time and full-time openings in both our Naples, Florida headquarters and our Haiti management team in Les Cayes, Hope for Haiti shared information on how to get involved with the organization overall. We accept financial donations through our website and our Friends asking Friends campaign, and Hope for Haiti is always looking for medical supplies, volunteers and interns, and additional opportunities to share our message with the public. We encourage interested students to apply to begin a campus chapter in support of Hope for Haiti’s work to improve the lives of the Haitian people.

To all of the students we met, “felisitasyon e bon chans”—“congratulations and good luck!”
