ground zero

Today we started at the clinic and ended at ground zero watching the sun set over the heart of port au prince. It was heartbreaking. The people we have been taking care of used to call the piles of rubble home and now are displaced and broken. I can only hope that God had greater things for the citi of Haiti.
I re-dressed/packed an open wound of a woman who travels 2 hours to get to the clinic. We told her the day before that she really needed to come back so we could check it again and she did. It was neat to see some continuing care in Haiti.
My trip could be wraping up soon. Flights out of Haiti are difficult to find and we were offered spots to start heading home tomorrow. The next group is not leaving for a couple more weeks. I have made a difference here but Haiti needs more than my hands to serve them. They need the love of Christ radiating in their own peoples in order to start re-building their city. When I close my eyes tonight I will have many vivid pictures of what may seem hopeless. I hope that my dreams are that of revival for this nation and people. I have had nothing but love from the Haitian people and have officially fallen in love with the country.
Please pray that the government rebuilds/relocates and opens the schools. Many of the children here only get one meal per day and it comes from the school. We continue to see malnutrition and dehidration.

Goodnight,
Cassie
