Haiti Day 1

Some random thoughts and observations after my first full day in Haiti with the HORT team www.haitiorphanrelief.org.

Area of damage much larger than I expected.
Shocked at the sight of buildings detroyed next to buildings virtually in tact.
Amazed at the Haitian life that continues.
Happy to see a lot of cleanup work being done by Haitians.
Touched by those exhibiting hope and dispair.
Embarrassed to look at the feet of someone still buried in the rubble....... feeling more like a voyeur than someone trying to humanize the tradgedy with a photo.
Wondering where all the international press has gone.
Encouraged by pastors and leaders with the vision, desire and stradegy for rebulding in a new way.
Thankful for a meal and a bed tonight in the midst of so many with so little.
Until they all have homes
