On the RoadIn September 2009, Erin Connery (left) and Oscar Quintero (right), both ’09,teamed up in San Francisco with Ethos Alliance, a global nonprofit thatstrives to ensure that corporations honor social and ethical responsibilities.The pair helped Ethos, which was incorporated earlier that year, to launch itsfirst international campaign for humanitarian relief.

To raise awareness about the Ecuadorians’ plight, Connery and Quinterowent on a 30-day tour, On the Road for Ethos Alliance, to recruit college stu-dents for local chapters, provide information about corporate social responsi-bility, and see the damage firsthand. They drove from California to Floridaand stopped at almost 20 universities and colleges, where they visited class-rooms and discussed humanitarian aid and environmental disaster. Then thepair flew to Ecuador to witness the damage to land, people, and culture. Visitwww.ethosalliance.org/30days for a blog on the trip.

Now program coordinator at Ethos, Connery says that he became inter-ested in the organization two years ago. “For an entire summer and the fol-lowing semester, I worked for [Babson Board of Overseers member] DavidPark ’91, a member of the Ethos board, at his high-tech startup in California.It was a great educational experience. David recommended Oscar and me forthe project at the alliance, and we were eager to join.”

On Jan. 12, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti shortlybefore 5 p.m. The epicenter was 10 miles southwest of thecapital city of Port-au-Prince. About 3 million people, one-third of Haiti’s population, were affected by the quake, andan estimated 1 million were left homeless.

Less than two months later, an 8.8-magnitude earthquakeshook Santiago, the capital city of Chile, in the predawnhours of Feb. 27. The quake and its aftershocks devastatedConcepcion, the country’s second-largest city, and manycoastal communities, which also experienced tsunamis.

At Babson, concerned students, faculty, and staff havebeen working with the Bernon Center for Public Service onrelief efforts, and the center has been accepting donationsfor both countries. Candles were lit in the Glavin FamilyChapel, which has been open for personal reflection andprayer, and vigils were held.

Here are four stories from alumni.

Verena Hackenbruch de Matteis ’05 and her husbandJean Marc live in Port-au-Prince, where they were born andraised. She e-mailed in February, “We were in our homewhen everything started to shake. The hanging lampsswayed so hard they hit the ceiling. My family’s businessbuildings collapsed. All communication and power were

down, and it took several hours before we learned thatour families were OK.

“No words can describe the horrific sights, the sounds ofscreaming and moaning, and the smell of death. Two dayslater, I went to a relative’s home in Raleigh, N.C., where Iwould have access to communication to help coordinateefforts in Haiti. I will return in a few days.

“My husband stayed in Port-au-Prince. He’s volunteeringat GHESKIO (The Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’sSarcoma and Opportunistic Infections), a partner of theCenter for Global Health of the Weill Cornell Medical Collegein New York City. Its doctors and nurses established a fieldhospital in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Healthand Human Services. GHESKIO is supporting several thou-sand refugees camped at its clinic with food, water, andshelter, while it continues to care for thousands of patientswith AIDS and tuberculosis.

“My husband and I are board members of the fundraisingarm of GHESKIO, which has been in Haiti for 30 years. Formore information, visit http://wcmchelpshaiti.org. I’d liketo ask people not to forget Haiti when it’s no longer in thenews.”

Milka Milliance, MBA ’09, is living temporarily inMiramar, Fla. She e-mailed in February, “I had been planningto move back to Haiti to look for work at one of the manyNGOs contracted by the World Bank. When I finally was ableto reach my mom five days after the earthquake, I learnedthat the American Club Golf Course, less than half a kilome-ter behind what was my childhood home in Port-au-Prince,had become one of the city’s two biggest resettlementcamps, home to 6,000 people with nowhere to go. My momtold me that she was trying to feed as many people as shecould from her personal food supplies, while my dad wastransporting the wounded to makeshift hospitals.

“I quickly developed a fundraising campaign. During thefirst three days, I raised $2,000 through my network. Wewere able to provide food kits to feed more than 250 fami-lies for five days. To date, we have raised $4,000, and donorscontinue to pledge their support.

“Sadly, this earthquake has been a great equalizer, bring-ing calamity to the wealthy minority and poor majority, andhas rendered us all the same, a people uncertain of thefuture. A number of donors worldwide have reached outabout a more long-term fundraising effort and possibly afund to help the children in the Delmas 40B neighborhoodwho have lost their parents. If you would like to learn moreabout this effort, visit www.forgottenchildrenofhaiti.org ore-mail me at [email protected].”

Andrea Almonacid, MBA ’06, e-mails from Santiago,Chile, “It was 3:34 a.m. My husband Ivan Luksic, MBA ’06,daughter Emma, and I were asleep when the quakeoccurred. The epicenter was 200 miles south of Santiago.

“I started to receive messages from Babson friends all overthe globe that day. I couldn’t believe it! I felt so supported. Itold them we were fine, and I asked them to pray for thosewho died.

“Chile was in chaos. Many roads and bridges weredestroyed. After the quake, the worst part of some peoplecame out. Everything was surreal: on one side, many weresuffering from personal and material losses; on the other,vandals were causing more damage, affecting our souls.

“By March 1, everyone was focused on helping. TV, news-paper, Internet, and social networks were committed. Groupsof friends and neighbors organized to get help to those whoneeded it. Chilean students, alumni, and professors frommany universities worldwide formed www.buildchile.org toraise funds. International groups came together and a collab-orative site was created at www.chileayuda.com. A nationaltelethon surpassed its goal to collect 15,000 million Chileanpesos (U.S. $30 million) with 30,000 million CLP plus another20,000 million CLP in goods.

“We are all proud to be Chilean, and we look forwardwith optimism and faith.”

Respondingto a disaster is no different from launching a venture. Thereare bureaucracies to deal with, teams to manage, and out-of-the-box approaches to implement in order to ensure effi-ciency.
