Opportunity - Team LLBen

One word to summarize the haiti_utk experience would be “opportunity”. Over the past semester, we have been fortunate enough to be given so many opportunities, seen and unseen. We were able to travel to Haiti and experience a new culture. Our eyers were open to things that they were blind to before. We were given the opportunity to aid Jean Thomas in fulfilling his vision for the community that he desires to build. We experienced a practical form of design that will prepare us for our careers in the future. We also formed friendships that brought us closer together as a studio.

The experiences that we gained from these opportunities are priceless and have been very rewarding. It has been very enjoyable and really exciting to know that something we designed in college is actually going to get built. If ever I had a similar opportunity such as the haiti_utk experience, I could not pass it up.
