Eva Watkins first got connected with SHH by meeting Shin Fujiyama through her father, a professor at the University of Mary Washington. She traveled with Shin in August of 2007 to Honduras for the first time and then volunteered again for 3 weeks in December/January when she worked as staff.

Empowered, Eva created a chapter of SHH at Hollins in the Spring of 2008. Their goals for this semester include having at least three successful fundraiser events, have at least 15 Hollins students participate in the Walkathon in April, and create a strong base from which the chapter can grow after this school year. The chapter is in the process of becoming SGA-affiliated and will be electing officers within the next two weeks. Their first event is was held on Wed. March 12th: a Honduran Dinner Night complete with Baleadas, Platanos Fritos, Horchata, and drinks.
