Changing the lives of survivors and volunteers worldwide
Volunteer Case Studies
At EDV, our motto is "changing the lives of volunteers and donors worldwide", and we mean it. These case studies illustrate how volunteers' lives have been changed in the long-term by their experiences in Haiti.
Billy Horwitz is a 20 year old US citizen who joined EDV in Haiti from February to June 2011. He was just 18 when he arrived in Port au Prince.
Eliza Dawson is an American University Student who volunteered with us for seven weeks in Port au Prince, Haiti, in the summer of 2011. We asked her to talk about how her experiences in Haiti helped her. 
Mirdza Abele, or Midge for short, (pictured on the left) is a 24 year old student studying Disaster Reconstruction and Development at Coventry University. She joined us in Haiti from June to September 2011 and worked on a small team of volunteers specialising in helping orphanages become more sustainable. 
Taylor Beck is a 21 year old university student from the US who volunteered with us in Haiti for six weeks in the summer of 2011. EDV was not her first visit to Haiti, yet it was her time with EDV which she feels impacted her most. 
Cyril Eicher is a 23 year old student at Coventry University studying Disaster Management. He joined EDV in Port au Prince in July 2011. Cyril faced many challenges in Haiti, including a car accident and a serious illness. Newsletter:
