Haiti

A few years ago, my eldest son and I went to Haiti. David is a Marine now, and says that his experience in Haiti, contributed to his decision to be in the Marine Corp and, I believe, contributed to the giving person he is.
This is my favorite photo of David in Haiti. This little boy was having a bad day and David was comforting him.

We worked in 6 orphanges and worked with about 600 orphans. My husband is a retired Anesthesiologist and is going to Haiti to help with the recovery efforts. There is so much we can all do.
I have heard generous comments about helping people in Haiti and then concerned comments about what is going on here, in the States. I don't think we need to make a choice. I think we can do both. Perhaps the Haitian earthquake can remind us all to be more generous because as David put it "Our worst day, is better than their best day", and that was before the quake.
