The Hope to Haiti Project
In 2010, we traveled to Jacmel, Haiti to help the community rebuild after the earthquake that struck the island last January. While there, we rebuilt a dental clinic and refurbished an orphanage, both of which had sustained earthquake damage. We also took 1600 tools with us to supply a carpentry school that we helped to [...]

June, 2011 When Random Acts made our first trip to Jacmel, Haiti in June of 2011 the volunteers on the trip forged deep connections with both the people and the place. There’s just...
Funnier in Enochian
My first thought, upon deciding to write a blog post on the East African Food Crisis, was to dig around for facts and figures which I could then present and use to appeal to potential donors. But everyone has seen the numbers already – 12 million famine-stricken people fighting for their lives, 640,000 of which are small children in Somalia – and seeing them one more time will hardly flip a switch in anyone’s head, right?

The goal was to obtain U.S. government stimulus money (funding to aid endeavors to stop an economic recession) for non-profit “minion” initiatives.
