CATHERINE DAVIUS
NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 2019'
"RESTORING HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW"
Catherine Davis shares:
“Early this year, I applied for the NYIT Edward Guiliano Global Fellowship which provides students the opportunity to do a project globally. I applied for the scholarship but unfortunately, I was not one of the recipients. If I was one of the recipients, I planned to use the funds to purchase pre-assembled backpacks and travel back to Haiti to give out the backpacks in my hometown where I grew up to under-served families. Despite the fact that I was not one of the recipients, the thought of many children in this under-served community receiving inadequate education began to weigh heavily on me. So I decided to still move forward with the backpack project and use some of own savings plus $800 that I raised from a crowdfunding site to purchase the school supplies.
I realized how fortunate I am; I have been through so many obstacles in life and I was able to use those obstacles as a stepping stone to overcome my situation. I always felt it’s important to give back. When I started my nursing journey at NYIT, I met so many people who have helped me throughout my journey. This is my last year, and I felt like I’m taking everything in, and I’m not giving back. I owed it to myself to do something that will positively impact others. I had my family that reside in Haiti identify local schools that would be appropriate for the mission, and I traveled to Haiti with my daughter for seven weeks. During my seven-week stay, I visited eight schools and three churches. The first day I didn’t expect that many students to show up and I planned to distribute approximately 250 backpacks. To my surprise, so many children came that I ran out of supplies. There were so many kids waiting. They were so grateful and so nice, so humble. They brought me to tears. In all, I distributed 1,500 backpacks.
I was really happy to see all their smiling faces because all the children were very grateful and happy for the small impact. This experience provided me with new skills, discover new passions, and gain new insights about myself and the world around me. The summer project in Haiti brought me a deep appreciation of all that I have in life and helping those in need gave me a firm reminder of what really matters to me. I began to see my own life in a different light and I started taking notice of the small things or moments that bring me joy. “
