Haiti-Aid

At Petite Riviere, we have a death.  His name Carmilus.  Many houses are devastated.  The Cholette school and Chuch are devastated also.  The Petite Riviere College Moderne is devastated.  The visitation hospital, the college C I C, the parish, church, the rectory and others are very safe and sound. The Manolo inn hotel is smally touched. All the people are very good but we stay in the street day and night and not in the houses because the earth shake. Almost each one hour. God is with us. Pray to him with us.

Though Petite Riviere did not suffer the mass physical destruction that we see on television, I know the emotional suffering is as strong as those in the center of the quake.  It is not uncommon for family members to leave the countryside, heading to Port au Prince looking for work.  It is the fate of these family members that is undoubtedly weighing heavy on the hearts of my closest friends I lived side by side with for 15 months.
