Thinking of Haiti

While I am no longer physically in Haiti, I find my mind still is in Haiti and I am already wondering how soon I can get back. It is a strange feeling be called to q place and still not completely know why. I do wish and pray for so much good to come to Haiti and I hope to help in some way the Haitians raise their country to what it can be.

And while I am happy to help in the Dominican Republic I have to admit I just don't feel the same calling to it. That too I can't explain.

For now I will have to satisfy myself with the notion that I will try to get back. And while PaP was a small amount improved over last year it is still full of need and a resilient population that can pull Haiti back to it's position as the "Pearl of the Caribbean".

    so what time did you actually get to la romana?! sounds like a very long day... we were stuck in the haitian airport until about 1:00pm then went to santo domingo where we had to go out of the airport, then back in, and through 3 different customs lines... then we got the plane and landed.

    it feels very weird to not be in haiti. i especially feel weird not doing something when there are millions of people in need.

    hope the week goes well and you all are resting today. love and miss you guys

    How I wish we had been able to all fly together! We met Kim, the leader of the HIV conference at the Villa - she was flying to JFK at 1:30. She said that flights from PaP have been delayed on each of her 4 visits there - but it still sounds better than what you endured. Worried about you - do provide more detail when you can.

    We finally arrived at La Romana at about 1:30. One of Jen's bags was missing when we arrives and we think it is gone for good. It had her clean clothes, so she had to quickly do laundry. We were going to send her to Jumbo for some $60 dollar ... oh, nevermind.
