Greetings from Haiti

We are live and well. We have been 10 days in Haiti in a YWAM base located in Saint Marc. It is in North about an hour away from the capital Port au Prince. When we arrived here we could see the capital that was in very bad shape. Many of the houses were destroyed and the ones that were still standing had some crack on the walls. The destruction was very evident at the President's palace. The middle of it was a dome that layed now on the ground.

Some of the houses are not inhabitable because of the danger for more collapses. So we saw strange looking tents made out of sheets and tarpaulins. The biggest need is to find a accommodation for the people until the city has been rebuild. There is about 2 million people who are living at the streets or at the tent cities. Half of them were homeless before the earthquake.

We have been working in Saint Marc. Working in kitchen, cleaning, registration of the refugees and the construction side. This are just some of the things that we have been working on. Mornings starts with worship and prayer. After that we start to work and the only breaks are the lunch and dinner times. Evenings are usually free but most of the times we are very tired and end up sleeping before 9.00p.m.
