Haiti service
SGY1s
Ciara Burrows
and
Dylan Moulder
,
with alum SGY ('12)
Kaijea Richardson
,
volunteered to work with Feed my
lambs ministry
in Haiti. The trio sailed
one leg of a trip aboard Spirit of
Bermuda
then helped build a school for
400 students. They also spent time with
35 children at the nearby orphanage.
"Going to Haiti was probably the most
significant life experience I've ever had,"
says Ciara. "I felt so touched by many
children who lived there, and I even
`adopted' my own three children. I am
contributing towards one child in the
form of financial sponsoring."
