During her undergraduate student, Krystal served as director of Africa Initiative, a student organization, and led 12 university students to Ghana for three months during the summer of 2004 to volunteer.

Every person I met was so positive and confident, and definitely taught me to appreciate what I have and who I am."



Story in the Baton Rouge, LA newspaper

23 Jun

Yesterday, I had my very first interview with a real journalist! Ed Cullen , a features writer for my hometown newspaper The Advocate and a contributor to NPR’s All Things Considered, interviewed me about the work I’m doing this summer with Landmine Survivors Network in Jordan. He asked many poignant and thought-provoking questions, some of which I wasn’t even able to answer! But, I don’t think I did too bad.

The article will be published both in print and online, although I don’t know when. I will keep you all posted. In the meantime, I’m off to the field to visit some survivors!

    If and when you ever come home to BR I would very much like to hear more about your work. I’m a bilateral below the knee amputee (argument with a tractor/bushhog). I am part of an amputee support group and we certainly would love to hear more. A very good friend of mine is Mike McNaughton…a great guy and a landmind survivor.

    all the best,
