Haiti in Devastation!


More set backs. **sigh**

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The strongest earthquake in more than 200 years rocked Haiti on Tuesday, collapsing a hospital where people screamed for help and heavily damaging the National Palace, U.N. peacekeeper headquarters and other buildings. U.S. officials reported bodies in the streets and an aid official described "total disaster and chaos." more here.

Most of my mother's family are in Cap Haitien which is far far away from the earthquake zone. My father's side are in Port au Prince. Waiting for news...

My prayers go out to the Haitian nation.
I have been crying and praying all day. This one has been rough for me seeing and imagining the suffering.

I am waiting for a friend of mine to come back from Panama tomorrow to see what we can do to help from this side.

I pray that your relatives in Port au Prince are well.

President Obama has been very good so far in offering full assistance.

Frankly,in my opinion,Obama has gained "beaucoup des points" in my book regarding Haiti.

Like the phoenix, Haitians will rise from the ashes and rebuild a new Haiti.

Stay strong.
Abrazos,
Ana
