Helping Hands In Haiti

Mary Lesa Pegg, Rho Zeta/East Carolina U, recently traveled with a 10-member mission team to Haiti, where help is still desperately needed by victims of the 2010 earthquake. Projects she participated in included tending sick children with the help of a doctor from her Winston- Salem, North Carolina, hometown, and playing with children at an orphanage. “We saw what these children experience daily. . . . They sang for us and played with us for hours. Their spirit was so uplifting and reminded us how thankful we should be for what we have.” An additional project was building a “rubble house,” a dwelling made of “basket walls” that are filled with rubble from houses destroyed by the earthquake.
