Feb 5, 2010 Gran Savon, Haiti

Pastor Benito's home was destroyed in the earthquake. The church also has some significant damage. Many of his members are without homes as well. They are meeting in a field near the church building where many of them are also living now. I have attached photos of their new "homes" and the new "church". We were able to distribute some food, clothes and hygiene items. We gave a few of the widows in the church some rice. Single mothers got some formula and rice. We gave the kids bags of cereal. It wasn't much, but at least we were able to tell them we haven't forgotten them!

The two young people we took to the clinic are good! They had some additional care and they are both much better! We also has a sick baby brought to us. I think she had a cold and was dehydrated. After some children's Tylenol and some formula, she was much better!! She was so cute!

Damage to a Leogane, Haiti Building

A Tent City Near Leogane, Haiti

A University Building Under Construction near Leogane, Haiti (was 4 stories)

The damage in Leogane is really bad. Some say there are over 5,000 dead and 90% of the buildings are damaged. I think that it is 90% damaged. I didn't see any buildings without some significant damage. There are some troops outside the city, but I didn't see any search or recovery activities. There are obviously many people still inside these buildings.

Feb 3, 2010 Gressier, Haiti

Today, was a tour of the immediate area around JoyHouse. We found a 20 year old boy, Moi, that had been injured in the earthquake. He had a serious cut on top of his foot. He hadn't received any care since the earthquake. We clean and bandage his wound, give him Tylenol and tell him we will come back tomorrow to take him to a clinic.

Then, a young girl is hurt too. She was running out of her house during the quake and was hit by a car. She had received NO medical care. She was very weak. After cleaning and bandaging her wounds, giving her water and Tylenol, we tell her we will come back tomorrow and take her to the clinic as well.

Tent City near Airport

Earthquake Damage

Today there was a trip into Port Au Prince to the Airport. There is so much damage. I could post a thousand photos, but I won't. We are posting more on the shutterfly site and Grace Point blog too! Also working on videos! Those should be interesting.

Port Au Prince is just devastated bu this Quake. Everywhere you look people are living in the streets or fields. As you travel down the main highway. they have filled the median with make shift houses and tents. They don't want to be near any buildings that may fall from aftershocks. Also, they don't have many other open spaces to chose from. So, they are in the medians. Cars and buses whizzing by! It's so sad!
