We got word from Jeremie, Haiti, this morning, that refugees are showing up from Port-au-Prince by the thousands. This is the village that our family has been working in for five generations (including my own children, Travis and Kate). So this is our personal stomping grounds.
The public hospital is full to overflowing from the injured that are pouring in. Most of the refugees are staying with extended families who were already living in the village, but this puts a tremendous strain on these people, who already can hardly eke out a living.
We are going to aid these refugees in Jeremie, with the help of the many people donating to this cause! All of the money received will go straight to the Haitian people, no extra salaries or the immense waste of beaurocracies. Yea!!!
As the Carrefour area begins to receive outside aid (but so far, nothing from any big organizations or governments), it is going to be increasingly important to support the outlying cities of refuge, where the residents of Port-au-Prince are headed.
Through the power of the spirit, we can do this thing!
