January’s devastating earthquake impacted all Haitians, particularly children. As young people ourselves, we felt inclined to help provide direct aid to the children of Haiti. The Global Orphan Project transforms lives by caring for more than 3,500 orphaned and abandoned children in fourteen of the most desperate countries in the world. The GO Project uses a unique, community-based model, partnering with local leaders to provide children with a caretaker, a safe place to live, two-meals a day, an education, and access to medical care. For more information about the Global Orphan Project, you can go to their website http://theglobalorphanproject.org/
