A group of cosmetic industry professionals traveled to Haiti last month to provide service and education on personal care product development, hygiene and wellness, and technology to the community served by House of Hope, according to a recent article in the NYSCC Cosmetiscope.
Their trip was organized by Amy Fletcher, founder, House of Hope; Melanie Mitchell, public relations specialist and founder of Gourmet Body Pastries Skincare; and Marie Renee Thadal, cosmetics industry business development professional and chair of the NYSCC.
House of Hope was founded by Fletcher to provide food and shelter for orphaned children in poverty-stricken Haiti. House of Hope is committed to furthering education, community development and women’s empowerment to help equip families. The people of House of Hope pride themselves on bringing dignity to the women in the community. Missionaries offer a range of classes to enhance skill sets that will help provide them with a trade. They also teach basic courses in hygiene, nutrition and health care.
NYSCC hopes this mission trip will not only position each participating individual as an agent for global transformation, but it will also bring a much-needed development program to the people of the community. Other participants are Myriam Almonor, PhD, scientist and public health leader and Jolia Thadal, RIT media arts and technology student, corporate retail and promotional print purchasing intern at L’Oréal USA.
