It’s devastating. Just to see the pictures. The destruction and despair on people’s faces. Those are real people. Real people. Like you and me.
I’m sure we all know someone who’s been affected by the earthquake in Haiti. One of the neighborhood boys (he’s Haitian) that hangs are our house from time to time was over here yesterday getting help with his homework. We were talking to him about the earthquake and if he still knew anyone there. He did. Had he heard from them yet? No. Who were they? His mom and sister.
I have a friend who arrived in Haiti the morning of the earthquake to spend 3 weeks working at an orphanage (God’s Littlest Angels). Needless to say things have changed quite a bit since then. Everyone at the orphanage is fine and the structure is still stable, but the workers are few and tired. Many of the local nannies have gone to check on their own families.
We’ve been getting updates through her sister over the last few days. The most recent was that her sister, Annette, decided to stay to help at the orphanage, even though the US military at the airport said it was “get out now or never.”
They have enough food for now, but are getting concerned about their water and fuel supplies. They’re up in the mountains and apparently it’s not easy to get there and more people are beginning to find their way there.
They are now having to ration their water and some of the staff went into town to look for water and couldn’t find any. Please pray for her and the staff.
