Barwin's Inspirational Trip To Haiti
Linebacker Connor Barwin returned to Haiti with NRG to install solar panels, but learned much more on his journey ...
Linebacker Connor Barwin traveled to Haiti along with NRG Energy to install solar panels at a maternity clinic and an orphanage
Barwin was inspired by the people he met in Haiti
This is not Barwin's first trip to Haiti with NRG Energy. He was there last year as well
Barwin turns into a big kid in Haiti
In Haiti, roughly one out of every 10 people have limited access to electricity
The solar panels at the maternity clinic will allow mothers to give birth at night in a safe, clean facility
Barwin brought the "guns" with him to Haiti
Barwin had no trouble tossing offensive tackles aside last season, so what's picking up a child?
This is no PR stunt. Barwin was there in Haiti to work
NRG Energy assembled this all-volunteer group for the trip
The work done last week will allow this light switch to illuminate the room

Barwin spent time to see what life was like around the island
You never see images like this of Haiti on the news
To the kids, Barwin wasn't a superstar athlete. Just someone lending a hand to help make their lives better
A truly majestic view
Even those who have access to the grid can only access electricity for a few hours each day
The children were happy and the volunteers were grateful to be a part of something so special
The culture of Haiti
Work hard, play hard
Solar panels allow for cleaner fuel instead of relying on dirty, diesel fuel
NRG has also built solar panels for schools and hospitals in Haiti
There are areas of Haiti still recovering from the 2010 earthquake
Barwin said that the trip has allowed him to now put all of his energy and focus into football
Just like on the football field, it's a team effort in Haiti
NRG's also left its mark on Lincoln Financial Field with over 11,000 solar panels
Barwin incorporates sustainability in his personal life as well
NRG has trained natives of Haiti to install solar panels so they can continue to develop the program
