Q&A with Alums of the Sacred Heart: – What was the “spark” that engaged you in the Global society? What can you share with us that is needed as action to go forward?

Molly Nuell is currently a senior at Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart in Miami, Florida. She has been a student at Carrollton since she was 3 years old. In her years at Carrollton, Molly has always been an active participant in extracurricular activities. Molly has served as a Student Ambassador for 7 years, was the president of her Junior Class, volunteered at Best Buddies, and has been a member of Carrollton’s softball team for 4 years. During her Sophomore year, Molly began the club “Heart of Haiti” a club dedicated to promoting social awareness and raising funds to build a school in Lacolline, Haiti. She is here today to discuss her work with Heart of Haiti. Her goal is to explain why she is so passionate about this project and to inspire other students in the Network to get involved.

Hearts for Haiti Notes from Molly's talk:

Partner's in Health with Paul Farmer New school plan includes science gardens and playground, dining room with classrooms and a friendsihp house for visitors. Located on a large greenspace with mountains for views. Lots of patio space, courtyard type spaces...incorporating Haitian architecture and culture so it is "owned" by the Haitians. Schools that are not private are too far apart and unsafe for student travel. Ministry and funding monies go directly to private schools not to public schools. So most children are not getting an education. Importance on education with real life experiences, growing up to become independent, learning tasks and projects that support their lives. Building is built to be safe in terms of the environment; earthquake, etc. Since children are expected to work for the family and therefore are unable to spend time in the learing process, school attendance and education is not a priority.

Education today -- attempting to improve attitudes and accessibility

Fundraising -- Raise awareness more than just knowledge with students of all ages. Inspires and motivates younger students to take the "fundraising" and value of service -- lemonade stand and bake sale by primary students in their neighborhoods.

Local fashion company designed t-shirt (for sale) Alumnae/i are important Class of 2008 -- luncheon prior to returning to colleges, with donations for the school

Passion for children and teaching...children are brilliant even thought so young Between children and education there is nothing for full of heart

Teaching independence: teaching so it can be sustained through the community once left to work beyond the "mission trip."

1. Children and Education 2. Service 3. Independence

First Network Project: Hearts for Haiti Network Bake Sale Funds go to the school in Haiti DATE: Valentine's Day, 2012

Images from students where the funding provides an impact (SOFIE page for resources, images, stories)

Contacts from each school for Molly: During break with school groups, someone will decide a contact.

Information and support from Network -- Network endorsed project and fund-raising

Network community mandates to the Network offices -- decided by the conference particcipants, then voted upon and unanimously approved the mandate

"With many hands, a burden is not heavy" Have funding for construciton and first year coordination Need other things to support -- January 2012 How much "realtime" has a fulltime student had to engage in this project? Partners in Health (Paul Farmer) -- global health building schools AND Sacred Heart Schools in Haiti $150,000 raised Site determination -- using existing school site RSCJ presence in Haiti: logistics and connection with communities -- not as a student School run by local church -- later in time perhaps there will be a connection to SH

More schools to open in Haiti (or wherever a student's passion might be)

While in college, worked in a refugee camp in Zambia. Wokring in the health organizations, felt that this was the place (AIDS)

Motivated more from talking and building a relationship with a refugee who had been a teacher. This refugee wanted to take her experiences and help otherrs with their journey through the disease (HIV).

Issue: access to care

Started a student campaign to "care." Creating and making awareness pins in Zambia and sell back in the US.

Found assistance and encouragement from Sacred Heart -- taught how to r "run" a chapter and begin a business, funding, plan, etc.

Launched a fellowship for non-profits in healthcare connecting international and US young leaders with internships within a global network to work together to impact health care in "their" country

Service had been a well-intentioned, upper class that was more of a negative duty......BUT, the best thing studens can do is raise money, and be activists.

Paul Farmer --- Students will go on to make an impact, but NOW, in youth be pragmatic.

What could the more privileges schools do when doing it together...dedicated to justice and sharing throughout the Network? What could SH service coordinators do NOW to engage and inspire students? Send students out to communities that are different Honesty and strong communication needs to happen

When students recognize that there are differences in real access to real and quality healthcare, education, careers, etc., that's when it makes a difference and moves students to engage.

In time, SH students do GET IT! Everyone ripens at their own stage.

Worked with Partners in Health in Rwanda Encuorage students to create school Chapters for their passion -- A donation of $60 per year can help to save a life or improve the quality of lofe for a perons with HIV (AIDS) Free AIDS (organization) []

What can we do to "get" students, faculty, staff and communities to give their most precious gift time (and labor)?

How is philiosophy of college attendance related to personal philiosphy?

Face Aids club -- Curriculum: Start Face Aids club through service learning - Use curriculum around countries where the affect might be (Africa, but other countries)
