Why I felt compelled to go on this mission:
I felt it was my duty as a Sikh of today’s generation to put into practice the great teachings of our Gurus of selfless service to all of humanity. I see the people of Haiti as our brothers and sisters and by helping them we are serving humanity in the way that Ten Gurus intended, in the true spirit of Sikhism.

Why I felt compelled to go on this mission:
I’m going to Haiti because sewa needs to be done; it is not good enough to help ourselves, we must also help those in other countries. I hope by helping the Haitian we will promote the common destiny of all humanity.

Why I felt compelled to go on this mission:
I’m going to Haiti because all of us are god’s children – regardless of caste, race, nationality or social status.

Why I felt compelled to go on this mission:
We are one another’s responsibility. The people of Haiti are in need of aid, relief, and love; the guru blessed each of us with the opportunity to go to these people and give of ourselves. I am honored to be of service and to fulfill my responsibility to my fellow people.

Name: Ramneet Kaur
Age: 25
Occupation: Account Manager, RBC
Hometown: Surrey, BC

Why I felt compelled to go on this mission:
God has taught us that we are equal on this earth. In that case, our brothers and sisters are suffering in Haiti, first question that comes to mind is, “How can I help?” There is only so much we can do when we live miles away from Haiti other than donating food and money. I embraced the opportunity to travel to this disaster-stricken place to lend a helping hand, offer a shoulder to cry on and be that listening ear. I am grateful to my community and the United Sikhs for providing me with the platform to help on international borders.

Age: 26
Occupation: Teacher
Hometown: Surrey, BC

Why I felt compelled to go on this mission:
Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s message to “recognize all human race as one” has always stuck with me as I have grown up. With this being said, I thought now was the time, if I don’t start now, I never will so I stepped up to this seva and feel privileged to be part of this great cause. We must set an example for future generations and this is the best way. I feel blessed to be able to go on this seva mission with a great group of like-minded individuals.
