Last week’s snowstorm halted many campus events, including the Hearts for Haiti walk planned by OU students who are concerned that there will be less participation due to the rescheduling.
“One of my biggest fears for the event has come true,” said Jourdan Selim-Guyton, an OU senior and founder of Haiti Helpers. “I just hope and pray that everyone comes.”
The walk, benefitting the American Red Cross International Response Fund for Haiti, was originally planned for January 30, but is postponed to February 6 at Crossroads Mall at 8:30-10 a.m. The event has gotten the attention of local news media, including News 9, according to Selim-Guyton.
Student contributors remain optimistic, hoping to raise funds and awareness amidst the unfortunate weather. Donations may be made to the American Red Cross.
