I just returned from five days at the Mission of Hope in Port au Prince. My first thoughts are Wow, what a terrible disaster. It is a terrible disaster. Haiti is a mess. It is my impression that it was a mess before the quake and now it is a mess that has been shaken and fallen apart. There is no big picture solution for Port au Prince except to start over. Move all the people out, bull doze the city and start over. Haiti could build the best large Carribean city there is with the right leadership and funding. Very unlikely given their past. I'm not qualified to speak to this.
On an individual level, many lives have been lost and many more have been altered. All Haitians lost family members in this tragedy. We can't change that. We can change the on going suffering and rehabilitate the people still struggling with injury and need. I hope to inform and motivate with this blog to keep us involved. This will be an ongoing disaster for Haiti. HELP THEM.
