Volunteering

HLD Welcomes New Interns from Sacred Heart University

HLD welcomes interns Lauren Black and Vanessa Ouellette. Miss Black is a senior from Sacred Heart University and will be graduating in May with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Global Studies. Her various projects include developing the 21/21 Campaign and other fundraising events. She also helps HLD in updating the newsletter. After graduation, Miss Black will stay with HLD as the Director of Development and Planning.

"I truley believe in the basic human right of education for all children and strive to do everything I can to assit in its realization," she says, "I look forward to becoming an active member in the international community." 

Miss Ouellette is a freshman at Sacred Heart University interning in the fundraising division of HLD. Her projects include researching and creating a foundation database for further funding, as well as small marketing projects.

The organization relies exclusively on the generosity of private individuals, corporations and foundations to help fund its educational and environmental programs. HLD does not receive any support, financial or in-kind from any government. To date, all of Haiti Lumiere de Demain’s programs are funded solely by funds from private individuals. We are always looking for financial and volunteers’ help to implement their mission goals.
