JOHN'S JOURNEY Saturday, January 19, 2013

SATURDAY, January 19, 2013 (UPDATE FROM JOHN)

I went along with another group of men from California and the founder/director of New Life Children's Home (Miriam Fredrick) to visit three other orphanages in the Port-au-Prince area. The first two pictures are of a home where 10 children are living with one nanny raising them. She only knows who one of the children's parents are. Notice there is no roof on the house. We brought them some food and water. We also brought two of the younger children back to New Life to give them proper treatment for illnesses they have. The second set of photos is of the interaction between Miriam and another orphanage nanny asking us to take the two twin girls in pink in the background because they just showed up, and she is already struggling to feed the children she already has. It truly is an understatement to say the need here is great. I fly to Cap-Haitian around 1:00pm Sunday afternoon.
