Malik Hicks and his family moved into their Habitat for Humanity home on Dec. 18.
Hicks’s mother, Michelle McNamara, volunteered 800 “sweat equity” hours over the past three years in order to finalize their home ownership. Sweat equity is a form of payment that allows people to work to pay for their homes instead of a down payment.
“This can’t be real,” was the thought that kept running in my mind as I lay on golden sand the consistency of flour in the middle of January. The big, curving palm trees shading the sand from the warm sun were bright green and full of lime green coconuts the size of soccer balls. The water was various colors of blue ranging from aqua and turquoise to ultramarine and cobalt and as it tossed around the seashells on shore, all I could do was soak in the beauty of the closest thing to paradise I’ve ever been.

In fact, their spirits were sustained throughout the remainder of their trip because the experience as a whole was too exciting to let pass them by.

Two weeks have passed since Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake but a Flagler College professor is doing his best to keep the issue fresh in students’ minds – or at least their noses.
Tracey Eaton, an assistant professor of communication, taught his classes on Monday and Tuesday barefoot.
Campus Activities Board announced Bands On The Lawn, a free outdoor concert scheduled for tonight at 6 p.m. on the West Lawn.
The concert is free, but event organizers will be collecting monetary donations for Haiti relief. The artists as well as CAB members agreed that all proceeds would go towards helping Haiti victims in their time of need. So come on out and enjoy the show by simply bringing lawn chairs or blankets and preparing to rock out!
