A Visit to the Refugees by Haitian Student Leaders!

Florida Haitian Student Association (FHSA)

You see. you don't have to give a man a million dollars to prove to him that you care.

Sometimes the only things a person needs is...

• a little bit of joy
• a moment of your time
• knowing that you're there and that you care
• an innocent smile... you have no idea how powerful this is!

These are the kind of things that money can't buy and that's exactly what these youths brought to these men and women during their visit

Bravo Kids! Keep up the good work!

This was an extremely emotional experience on the part of all that were present during the visit, including the security guards at the Center.

It might be difficult to conceive how we (the youth) obtained inspiration from a group of people who have endured possibly the worst treatment.

It was amazing to learn how well behaved they are in spite of their extreme hostile environment.

We were fortunate to spend a moment with them, painfully laughing, and injuriously crying while they passionately and thoughtfully described their horrible journeys to the shore of the so-called "land of the free" (USA).
