Well, I’ve asked some Furman students what they have thought of the United States government’s response to the disaster in Haiti and most are positive responses:
- “Although the U.S. was not the first to respond– they’ve done a good job helping out” – Furman Sophomore
- “The United States is participating in Haiti now however it will be interesting to see what they do in the long run.” – Furman Senior
I sat down with Furman sophomore, Sophie More, to discuss: Sophie Interview
Although students may have different opinions on the U.S. government’s role in Haiti, most have shown their support by wearing Haiti t-shirts that were sold during the Furman Men’s soccer tournament that took place to raise money for Haiti.
It’s refreshing to know that college students have an opinion on issues such as the US government’s role in Haiti. Not only do they understand what is happening outside of Furman’s campus but they also show support in fundraising and “Haitian Spirit”.
