A few of my friends from church were planning to go to Haiti next week to install solar panels at a school there. Just last month they delivered more than 100 iMacs. They go to Haiti four or five times a year to help out. Very sad situation.

I'm confused. Isn't Haiti one of two countries on the island of Hispaniola?

Did the quake only effect the Haitian end of the island?

Or could it be that we're seeing another media production like New Orleans and Katrina?

In times like this, I can’t help but ask “Where Is the Loving God?” In fact, I asked my pastor to write up a sermon and call it “Where Is the Loving God?” but he wouldn’t do it.

I mean, I have several friends who dedicate 2-3 months every year out of their lives to go to Haiti to help build homes, schools, etc. and in just minutes, all of their previous work is undone.

Thankfully, the emotional ties they’ve generated to those in Haiti can never be undone, but the physical labor and assistance can sure be destroyed in a heartbeat.

France fears everyone inside U.N. HQ in Haiti dead

That will reduce the UN budget

OK, that was a little harsh! Haiti is such a Hell hole that no amount of money is ever going to change things. I have been there. I have been there!

Why didn’t the UN prevent this quake?

Americans will not lift a finger to help, no one will send $, Michelle told us “America is a mean country”.

Samaritan's Purse and World Vision are two organizations who will give relief to those in dire need here, and can be relied upon as truly Christian organizations which send donations to the victims, and not to line the pockets of the "administrators."

Please give to this great need.

Here's the latest I've heard:

The whole island was filled with grey smoke as the reported 7.0 destroyed all of the downtown area and was felt as far as the Dominican Republic and even Cuba. At this moment, no one is allowed inside his or her houses and there is minimal chance of communication....The city of Petionville was hit hard as one of the hospitals there (Notre Petit Freres et Soeurs) collapsed with patients still inside.

there are a whole lot of Haitian students and teachers at the school where I teach that are very worried and scared for friends and relatives living in the disaster zone. This actually might explain why my class attendance is down so dramatically this morning. My first period was 30% absentee. I'm on my planning period now.

A few years ago I taught classes in federal prison and one of the inmates was studying to be an electrician. His village had no electricity and he wanted to go back and install it.

“UN: 5 killed in headquarters collapse in Haiti quake; over 100 missing including mission chief.”

In other words, no lose of human life.
