Feature Article Plan

For my feature article, I’d like to tell the individual story of one of the kids at New Life Children’s Home, the orphanage with which I do most of my volunteer work. I’d like to share the story of either Louvens, a four-year-old boy who was left to starve in the mountains while his mother cared for the rest of his siblings, or the story of Albert, a seventeen-year old deaf boy with a severe heart condition who also formerly lived in a remote mountain village. I have already shared much about the reasons why I love to work in Haiti and what the main issues and needs are there, but with this article, I want to share more about the stories of the actual and specific people I have met and worked with during my time in Haiti. Stories like these make up the meat of the reasons why I am so interested in helping out in Haiti; they are close to my heart.
