Daniel Tillias, a nominated CNN Hero, is coming to Upstate International to share his experiences creating safe spaces for children in Haiti. “Many people in Haiti refer to Cité Soleil as the trash place where all the dumps are,” Tillias said. “But … I see these kids with potential, with wings … waiting to fly.” Tillias runs the youth empowerment program called SAKALA offering free after school sports and academics, gardening, community development and conflict resolution programs for children.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet a real life hero.
