It was three years ago today that the earthquake hit Haiti in late afternoon. As far as we can tell, there will be no services or community gatherings to commemorate it. Marc, who is Haitian, says that the Haitian people are somewhat tired of talking about it and making a point of remembering it. They just want to be busy moving forward. They are a strong and determined people. I had a visit this morning with Sterling (one of our Haitian staff), over mangoes (yum), and he said that he still has nightmares about it.
Wade left early this morning for the airport to pick up some folks. Today is a national holiday, so hopefully Port au Prince will be quiet and restful. The have police with them, so they have protection.
