By Hal Eisenberg February 20, 2014 I awoke this morning with some apprehension and anxiety about today’s events.

By Hal Eisenberg February 19, 2014 If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around does it make a sound? If the highest level of achievement in a remote village is becoming a teacher, does a child know how to develop other dreams and passion? If you are staring out of a hole […]
The Haiti Blogs: My Journey of Hope and Rediscovery – Pt 6 “A Real Blessing”
By Hal Eisenberg February 18, 2014 Last night after dinner we had our usual “reflection” with Joe, Patricia, and the team – moments I am beginning to truly look forward to.

By Hal Eisenberg February 17, 2014 I am taking a break from a very extensive and exhausting day.

By Hal Eisenberg February 14, 2014 Exhausted and sore, I cannot find the energy or words to write the myriad of emotions I felt as we touched down in Haiti. On only one-hour sleep, and hours of shoveling feet of snow, I am in 90-degree weather and it is hot and humid. From watching our […]
