My Dreams

Hi everyone! My name is Nikki Cochrane and I am just finishing up my final year of University at McMaster in Hamilton, Ontario, where I am studying cultural anthropology. My main passion in life is humanitarian work, and this blog is going to be for me to write about my travels. In the past, I have been to the DR four times, Haiti once, and Ethiopia once, working on various different projects including; helping in orphanages (including an orphanage for children who are HIV+), helping in a hospital for children very sick with malnutrition, building schools, building houses, teaching english, running extracurricular programs, helping in clinics, and working with disabled children, among many other things.

Eventually, I hope for this blog to be a place where people can come to learn about humanitarian work and what YOU can do to help. So keep checking back for interviews with missionaries, resources to help prepare you for trips, and ways that you can educate yourself on world issues.

You are amazing! I'm so excited for everything you've done and are going to do... you're making such a huge difference and I'm totally stoked for you. I want to live in the DR for a while and I'm thinking we need to work together in the future! I love what's in your heart and what you're passionate for.
PS. Remember all those good times in Sosua we had? haha... cheap massages are the best!
