Bernard's Dream






Bernard is someone whom I admire very much. He is a very dear friend to anyone and everyone who has ever been on a Hero Holiday in the Dominican Republic. Bernard has worked with Hero Holiday for the past four years as a translator and mason. He is originally from Haiti, and speaks several languages. Bernard works with troubled children, and his dream is to have a home where he can take in street children and child soldiers temporarily. For the past five years Bernard has been working with orphans and children at risk, and he would love to be able to do more for them.
Bernard has demonstrated time and time again how dedicated he is to helping the poor, and has proven himself to be a very special person. Hero Holiday decided this past year to help Bernard build his home. It was an amazing site to work at, simply because we had Bernard running it. No matter how tired I was, or how hot it got, I was always so motivated to work on this project. Bernard is someone that I miss everyday when I am at home, and also someone I look forward to seeing next year when I return to the Dominican Republic.
