       THE TRIP
    -After the Earthquake Jan. 12, 2010- that mostly destroyed all of Haiti, I signed up to go with Habitat for Humanity. I was just accepted for the team that is leaving in November. I have volunteered with both medical and construction skills. I don't  know when I will know my actual "duty assignments".  We are going to LEOGANE, which is about 30 kilometers / 12  miles  west of the capital , Port au Prince, and considered at the epicenter of the quake. A map follows below .

                                                                    POST SCRIPT
    - I expect the devastation to be similar to New Orleans- that was virtually unchanged a year after hurricaine Katrina. I expect the conditions ,which were already incredibly destitute, to be difficult to fully comprehend and  even more elusive to convey in writing or a few photos as I share the  unfolding experience with my blog subscribers. What I will also try to grasp is the incredible underlying poverty , and  damage that the years of corruption and exploitation have caused to this island . There are some amazing reasons why the other half of the island, the Dominican Republic is better off...and I hope to engage your interest and show you why you should help. Support my trip. Support the Carter Work Project and Habitat for Humanity. Read the blog. Forward the blog. Open your heart and eyes to our neighbor.
