Vacation and hiking in the mountains!

This past week, Duke Engage took a trip to the mountains. We stayed at a Haitian family's mountain villa, hiked 22 miles, and spent some time with a naturalist named Winny!

We also helped Ben and Cindy Reese, two psychologists associated with Duke and FHM, with their ally training project. The training is meant to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Over 110 women were at the Fondwa training! 

On Saturday, Missy drove us to the seaside town of Jacmel, where we met up with our friend Angelica from Yale. Look how beautiful it is!
