Often, our Haitian friends visit us. One of our contacts down there was killed in the quake; her husband was injured and awaits evacuation.

The government has failed miserably to teach people how to read, so people like us need to step up - so we do.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have not yet heard from Charite. We pray he is OK, but we don&#039;t know for sure. We hear that his town Dessalines was spared. He is a wonderful, spirit-filled man. A giant and a beacon of light in a very dark place.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pray that we will find the most effective way to help these people, who endure conditions we cannot begin to understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>We most assuredly <i>do </i>have the means.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
