Haitian Earthquake Relief » Team A http://www.helphaitiheal.org Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:27:35 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Update from Team Ahttp://www.helphaitiheal.org/2010/01/update-from-team-a/ http://www.helphaitiheal.org/2010/01/update-from-team-a/#comments Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:51:11 +0000 admin http://www.helphaitiheal.org/?p=561 Today we went to Church in a courtyard under a tarp in the middle of a slum. The people packed in to hear the message sing and pray. One small boy no more than 5 came forward to ask for prayer he was on the edge of tears as he approached the pastor when the pastor picked him up he broke into tears he sobbed not like a boy who can’t find his favorite toy but like a man who lost the love of his life. We then drove back through downtown it was only worse that I remember it from a few days ago. The shock of it all had worn off and scope of the devastation was much more apparent to me. Later we went back to the building where I had seen a failed rescue attempt last week and noticed that the bodies exposed in the rubble were still there. I have started to wonder what is next I know this is already fading in the hearts and minds of people around the world. How can we think longer term of how to help rebuild. This is often the case after disasters like Katrina, the Tsunami, the earthquake in China we have our moment then move on to the next thing. Sporting events, Political maneuverings, relationship issues, school worries, and job deadlines push people concerns further from the center of our lives and these flash fires of concern fade away. I see here that life is fragile it can be taken away in a moment we need to seize the moment to the greatest good we can and hold close those who we care about the most pushing aside petty things and change take the first steps to change the world now.
