The pictures and stories that continue to pour out of Haiti show a nation that will take months and even years to rebuild. For the Duluth’s NewsCenter weekend anchor Julie Pearce, who has spent the last four years of her life telling stories, those pictures were enough to make a life changing decision.
“I’d sit there and produce the show and read the headlines and you know download the stories and sit there and read the headlines to the audience and it just broke my heart knowing that there’s something that I can actually do, that I actually have the skills to do something about what I’m reading and what I’m telling to our audience,” Pearce said.
