Kelly and Quang's Global Roam

Way back in March, I interviewed a local couple about volunteer efforts they'd undertaken to bring fresh water wells and sanitary latrine systems to the Central Plateau region of Haiti. The article finally came out at the start of June and now I've got a portion of it posted on my site.

The interview was highly engaging for me. The couple, Ron and Donna, were travelers with a mission that was near to my heart, too. While I've never been to Haiti, I have seen shocking water conditions in other parts of the world. In fact, this past holiday season, Quang and I talked my family into donating collective funds to World Vision earmarked for well construction.

After speaking with Ron and Donna, I wished I had known about them and their organization when my family was searching for a way to make a donation to further fresh water efforts. Ron has gotten so involved in the issue through his Rotary group that he's created Safe Water Plus, with the purpose of teaching other organizations how to get involved with and support fresh water efforts of their own.

They also told me about Haiti Outreach, another nonprofit organization based just down the road from me. It is so nearby, I couldn't believe I'd never heard of them before. Haiti Outreach works in many ways to bring positive changes to Haitians.
