Dear Emerging Professional,
Nearly one year after the island nation of Haiti was nearly destroyed by a catastrophic earthquake and dozens of deadly aftershocks, the children of Haiti still need our help. Thousands lost one or both parents, and they desperately need a place to go to find the most basic elements of human survival: food, shelter, healthcare, safety and, most importantly, love.
The USGBC and their project partners are now engaged in a full fledged capital campaign to support the construction of the first LEED orphanage and children's center in Haiti. The orphanage will represent the best of the green building movement and will be a beacon of hope for the countless pre-and post-disaster abandoned children who will find new life and new love thanks to this project.
As EPs, we have a unique opportunity to help USGBC with this campaign. With our connection to our communities and our chapter leaders, we can demonstrate the passion and mission-driven nature that EPs possess across the US. EP’s support for this project, no matter how small, will make a great, positive impact on promoting social equity and the green building movement. We hope that you will get involved with your local chapter today.
Best regards,
Emerging Professionals National Committee
