Megan Boudreaux left her comfortable American life and moved to Haiti. She soon noticed very young children dressed in rags and lugging heavy buckets of water. Their eyes were empty and she wondered why they weren't in school. She soon learned that multitudes of small children were kept as household slaves. Many were abused, starved, and denied education, hope, and a future. Megan set out to change things and founded the nonprofit Respire Haiti, which has transformed a barren hillside into a refuge and a school for five hundred children.
