MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — For months, the people of Haiti in the capital city of Port-Au-Prince have experienced gang violence. In February, gangs launched several attacks on the government. 

"Now it's gotten to the point where it is really out of hand and it's unsafe. It's become a humanitarian crisis for the country overall," said Helping Hands and Beyond Founder Herline Raphael. 

Herline Raphael was born in Haiti but moved to the states at the age of five. 

She now lives in Monroe County. She created a non-profit in 2009 called Helping Hands and Beyond to serve the people of Haiti. She said seeing what is going on in her home country is heart wrenching.

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — In this week’s Here’s to You Kid segment, 28/22 News met a young ham radio operator. It’s not only his hobby, what he does also involves helping save lives.

28/22 News Reporter Iyee Jagne met up with Samuel Thrall and gave us a look at the Monroe County Public Safety Center and the teen’s role there.

14-year-old Samuel Thrall is a member of the Eastern Pennsylvania Amateur Radio Association (EPARA.)

He passed three levels of the FCC Amateur Radio Licensing exam and now helps at the Monroe County Public Safety Center.

“In the event of an emergency situation, so say a blizzard happened, we would be deployed to various Red Cross centers through the county to establish communications and there for relay any needs that the stations might need,” said Samuel.

What interested him in ham radio in the first place is simple.
