The average person might not know too much about Haiti, but Kathleen A. Tobin is passionate about it. A teacher of Latin American history, Kathleen has written a book about why she thinks Haiti is important in the classroom and how she set upon making it a priority in educating her students and gaining support from her colleagues. Haiti is part of Latin America and has an unstable history. Kathleen brings to life why Haiti’s past and future is important to everyone. But teaching about Haiti is not enough. Kathleen is drawn to helping Haitians through charity work, helping to aid in the poverty of the people through such organizations like Catholic Relief Services. She travels to Haiti with a mission group to do what they can. The projects involved helping the people learn to sell their products in the market place, planting and erosion control due to the harsh hilly landscape. But the muddy travel is rough, the people friendly and the orphanages sad, especially the ones filled with AIDS victims. And a strike of a hurricane only brings more misfortune.
