Jamie!!!!!!! 


Let me tell you what this Good Samaritan Rebuilding Fund is all about. In a single word, JAMIE.


Jamie is a student at the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield. Today and next week they are hosting the 3rd annual Global Ideas Festival Haiti. Already this 7-12 school has donated thousands of dollars to the rebuilding effort not to mention packaging over 800 bags of pedialyte for the Clinic in Carrefour.


Today, Joanne Kimball and I had the pleasure of visiting the school and being the keynote speakers at the first session of the Global Ideas Festival Haiti. We began by thanking the students and faculty for all they had done to help with the Clinic. Then, we showed the Good Samaritan Rebuilding Fund video and told some stories about our time in Haiti in February and March. 

When everybody had left to go to their classrooms, a single girl, Jamie, came down the aisle and asked me, "Are you collecting money today?" I said, "Sure. We can always use any gift that's offered." At which point Jamie gave me $3 in rolled up dollar bills and said, "Here. Thanks for everything you're doing." 


From one American student to a whole school of children in Carrefour, Haiti, $3. It's what Jamie had ... and she gave it from the depth of her heart. Thank you Jamie. THANK YOU!!!
