Life in Haiti is hard. Not just for those who were born and raised there and cannot leave, but for those who, because of God's call choose to live there. I hurt for my friends there today, they are hurting. They are there to serve and help, provide a little heaven on earth for those who live in hell on earth. The hell sometimes effects them. Pray for those in Haiti, they need it.

Influenza B

"did you get a flu shot"? Ah... no. when you have lived in a third world country your since of concern over sickness changes. I am living right now in the USA where I can call 911, take my child to the family Dr. or the local urgent care, Flu shot? No thought of it. I think or malaria, typhoid fever or Dengue fever, the biggies.
So Trent got the flu, I took the him to the local urgent care, kept him home from school, cleaned house like crazy, with the result being - only one other family member got the bug.

Heartline Ministry sewing program

The sewing program in Port Au Prince provides women with a practical skill to provide an income for their family. Empowering women to no longer have to give up the children for adoption. One of the out growths of this is Haiti made Purse Parties. Purses, laptop, book bags are sold at in home parties. These bags are made by the women in the program and the proceeds from the sell are returned to the women and the program. The are made from donated 'scrapes' and rice bags, sugar bags so they are "green".
My sister Marcie Kasper recently hosted a Purse Party at her home in Colorado Springs. She had a room full of her dear friends. These women not only loved the purses but were so enthusiastic about changing a women in Haiti's life!
