Organic Change for Haiti and TEDx Speaker

Supporting an orphanage was never in Mary Ann’s life plan. But her curiosity for other cultures led her to Haiti and a friendship with a Haitian women names Manadia Joseph (nicknamed Dada). Then, in the early Spring of 2016, Mary Ann was told of Dada’s work and agreed to help out. She then booked a trip to Haiti to check out the situation first-hand. What she found saddened her. Needs that Mary Ann had never thought of, such as beds, schooling, high quality food, fuel for cooking, solar panels, etc., were not being met. None of this reflected badly on Dada. As everyone else in Haiti, Dada is doing the best she can with limited resources. Once seeing this Mary Ann could not turn her back on the needs at this home and is now looking for support to help her in this mission.
