Mr. Bill’s Orphanage lost a wall and as such a group of about 20 bandits looking to steal supplies had to be quelled. At least one shot was fired by a policeman who lived near the orphanage but thankfully it was into the air.

He spoke of the devastation being hard to conceive, walking in a city , block after block where buildings are leveled on both sides of the street.

Haiti Relief #5

I rode through downtown Port-Au-Prince amongst the devastated rubble with a young lawyer named Frantz. He is the oldest of seven children raised by their single mother in one of the poorer sections of Port-Au-Prince. His mother was one of 40 who were killed while worshipping at their church when the earthquake hit.
