From Les Cayes

The situation is desperate. We need to think of not only PaP, but the country as a whole. Everyone is desperate, the country is in crisis. Donate to help. Hi Paige, I have heard no news about them - which is good for we only get bad news. They may be like many others who have no way to communicate. If we get a minute we can drive over and check on them for you. we have many emails from people asking us about various parishes, schools, friends, etc. we would need an army to check on everyone. The road from PAP is cracked open and not repaired, not even a motorcycle can get across. There were some stories that it had been fixed but that has not happened- yet. No road, no supplies, no fuel, etc. Digicel is down but Viola is SOMETIMES working. After MANY tries, I spoke with Jean Gary in PAP. He and his family are OK. AA is not flying for too many planes are here. there are many people trying to come through the Dominican Republic but are being held up on the border, The people here in Haiti are trying to get organized. There is no Official Govt Presence to lead the rescue efforts, so much for leadership, take care speak with you soon peter

From Father Marc

This message is from Father Marc, and was sent out yesterday. Father Marc is in Les Cayes, 140 miles away from the point of impact.

from Father Marc: We are facing an increase in our population as orphaned children are identified and placed; food/fuel shortage until the road is repaired, more demands will be made of us as families request assistance...The capitol is in shambles. Government agencies have stopped working. Shipment of essential goods will be interrupted for an extended period of time. We are in crisis.

From my Friend Biondy.

The following is an email I received from my friend Biondy, minutes after the Earthquake hit on Tuesday. Biondy lives in Les Cayes, which is approximately 140 miles away.

Hi
New 1- Everyone in here was surprised by the Earthquake, cause it is the first time in their lives something happen like that, i was in Wilson's room writing something on Nesly's computer and i saw the wall is moving, i thought is was some one that's making bodybuilding with the wood that is on the roof, and i wasn't feel good Morin was there too, so we moved out together and we saw everybody were out before us and then i knew it was an Earthquake at 16:45:23. Is that happened in Arizona too ?

Haiti Earthquake.

Due to the recent events in Haiti, I have determined it appropriate to keep updating my blog. I am currently in Arizona, but have been locked in to all events taking place down in Haiti.

For now, I will keep all of you updated on all things Haiti, and the news I am hearing.

I will be posting e-mails received from friends in Haiti, links to places I feel best depict the current situation, and thoughts I have on what is going on in terms of relief.

.

Thank you.
