Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham returned to Haiti today to survey our work with cholera patients, hand deliver Operation Christmas Child shoe box gifts to hurting children, visit shelter communities we built in the aftermath of the January earthquake, tour our rubble removal activities, and debrief with staff on water, sanitation, shelter, targeted feeding, training programs, and 2011 needs.
Samaritan’s Purse teams have been working in Haiti since the country was devastated by a deadly earthquake in January. Still struggling to recover from the quake, the Haitian people have more recently suffered from the growing cholera epidemic that has already claimed more than 2,000 lives and from the hurricane that pummeled the island nation in November.
“I don't know of any people in recent years who have suffered more, and in such a short period of time than the people of this small country—with an earthquake, a hurricane, and now a cholera epidemic,” Graham said.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is accompanying Graham on the trip.
"I am pleased that Gov. Palin will accompany us on a brief trip to Haiti this weekend, and I appreciate her willingness to visit Haiti during such troubled times,” Graham said. “I believe Gov. Palin will be a great encouragement to the people of Haiti and to the organizations, both government and private, working so hard to provide desperately needed relief."

I like Sarah. She is real.
Wow, is she awesome. I don’t know if she’d get my support for President. She definitely is all class, and a lovely Christian woman.
I hope she continues to be a player—and keeps working to topple enemies of freedom, whether they’re Marxists like Hussein or RINOs like Mike Castle.
Not every battle will be won, but who cares? All we have to do is keep fighting and victory will eventually be ours.
Yes she is, God bless Sarah and her family!!!
God bless them all. Thanks for posting!
That beautiful woman may very well be our next president,God Bless.
The left is going bonkers over this. Just search ‘Palin’ and ‘Haiti’ on twitter. Wishing for her death among other things.
He looks more and more like his father every day. And what’s wrong with Governor Sarah Palin bringing the publicity that follows her everywhere to the poor, stricken people of Haiti? This is bigger than Mr. Obama, Secretary Clinton, President Clinton or Vice President Biden visiting there.
I see Todd joined them! He’s a star in his own right! ;-)
Thanks for posting these. I support this charity, it’s great to see my donation well spent!
And Sarah Palin, what a bonus! :-)
Man, she’s hot!
But I repeat myself.
Looks like Greta from FNC is in there too
I see Greta V in the pictures ... she has carried a LOT of water for Sarah ... and should get a LOT of credit for it. She also does a lot for worthy causes. I like her style.

Ah yes, the paragons of compassion and tolerance strike again.
The left are not only sick and twisted but just downright mean. Screw ‘em.
She is almost always smiling and almost never looks bad, such as hillary’s pictures!
hmmmm..... The wrath of God is real and being felt in Haiti
If we’re being objective, she probably puts Chris Matthews to shame. I don’t know the specifics and everything but her and the Gov are friends. I mean, I don’t think Obama and Matthews are friends. Or Obama and Olbermann or most of his other lefty fans. He could probably care less about them. He just uses them for his purposes.
But Greta has actually been to her home and hung out, she’s done these stories where she basically just hangs out with her husband and rides snow machines, etc...
The thing is I’m pretty sure Greta is fairly liberal politically, at least on social issues. Her husband was a big Hillary supporter. And Greta in general has supported women in politics. But it’s more than that. There’s a personal connection between the two of them that you don’t often see. I just think it’s a genuine friendship.
Was W friends with any reporters/TV people? Did he hang out with any of them? Even supporters. I mean, I don’t think Hannity was flying down to his ranch and riding horses with Laura. Did any reporters ever go out to Reagan’s ranch and hang out with him?
It certainly is interesting.

No. But none of them was “just one of the guys” with camera crews going on hunting trips and hanging around their house doing a semi-documentary series, either.
