Vassar Haiti Project

The Vassar Haiti Project participated in HarvestFest, an annual festival celebrating the coming of fall with refreshments and activities out on the Vassar Quadrangle. This year, VHP had a table where we had handcrafts for sale and face-painting.

Ilse Heine ’15 gives us her perspective on the experience:

“I had a lot of fun face painting during Harvest Fest. I used the bird from the VHP logo as my inspiration (confession: I really didn’t know how to paint anything else). It was very exciting to see so many people interested in the VHP merchandise. A number of people visited our table, and complemented the beautiful crafts and scarves that were on display. I volunteered for the event thinking I would stay for just an hour, but ended up staying for two, and I am so glad that I did. It was a nice, and much needed break from my stressful midterms week. Overall, Harvest Fest was just one more event to add to my list of past, and hopefully many future VHP experiences that always seem to brighten my days at Vassar.”
