"You have to understand that we are very close – these are people that I know and love. What I am hearing is that all that remains is rubble. It’s all gone. What they need most now is donations. They need money so the people there can get the resources they need to do the work that needs to be done.”
David Manzo, is an instructor in Boston College's PULSE service program and is president of the Cotting School for handicapped children in Lexington. Manzo had most recently been in Haiti over Thanksgiving and was scheduled to return Jan. 29. He has run exchange programs for teachers at the Cotting School and its Haitian sister school, Wings of Hope. Boston College students and staff members have travelled to Haiti on a regular basis with Manzo for service trips.
