Donor Interviews: Meet Anita Harnish
Anita Harnish was first introduced to the people of Haiti in 1990 when she found herself replacing a chaperone on a youth mission trip to Cottin, a small village outside of Port-au-Prince. From that, she continued to visit Haiti through Beyond Borders, a nonprofit that helps Haitians liberate themselves from oppression and isolation. She had been to Port-au-Prince, Le Cayes, La Gonave, and Cap Haitien.
Sunshine on Cloudy Days
Maybe it’s the never-ending gray sky of Pittsburgh in the winter. Or perhaps it is the ominous sense of dread that seems to have set due to the disappointment, loss and constant uncertainty of the global pandemic. Then again, it might be the PES (post-electoral stress) from a contentious presidential election leading to a violent mob during political transition. Whatever it is…I have experienced doubts, disruption, and disappointments like never before.

Soup Joumou and its history in Haiti
