One of my best and most precious friends, Miss Hannah Elizabeth Ferrell, is headed back to Jacmel with me this coming Wednesday! A Haiti first-timer, she has taken leave from her job and will be spending the next three months helping me jump start our new women and girls initiatives. I am beside myself with excitement about this! Hannah and I have been friends since high school, and she has walked me through a lot of ups and downs in life. Her presence has a calming effect on me.. it is going to be goooooood to have her around everyday. She has a very natural and infectious interest in and understanding for people from every walk of life, is a great soccer player (something that is bound to earn her brownie points in Haiti!), has amazing artistic talent, and is absolutely hilarious in a uniquely immature and somehow still brilliantly understated way. She has a lot to offer, and I am really looking forward to having her as my partner!
