Sarah Martin ’14 signed up for a mission trip with Laity Lodge Outbound in summer 2011, part of a group that would facilitate a camp for approximately 300 children and youth in Limbe, Haiti. The mission group also raised enough money to provide safe drinking water for the village,
with a well installed by a professional contractor.
As traveling alumni and students have learned, regardless of itinerary, other ’Roos can be close by.
Once in Haiti, Sarah met Drs. Paul Bunnell ’78 and Jeanine Griffin ’79, who were part of the mission team providing medical care to the Haitians. Turns out Paul was in the same Austin College class as Sarah’s dad, Dr. Jonathan Martin ’78; the two even served together as president and vice president of the student body at Austin College, but had not been in contact in many years. Sarah is pictured with camp participants.
