February 4th, 2010: The 10th Day in Haiti












There are so many young men and women who have no idea what the future has for them. This young man seemed to like my MRE meal I had just given him.














People roaming the streets outside a tent city looking to find food or a job. there are a lot of people just standing around waiting for someone to help them instead of helping themselves. The few people we have found working in the debris were theives combing through people's houses looking for treasures they can sell to get food or booze.















We found by accident that our official Mercy Ships shirts were made in Haiti, I had no idea! I wonder if this factory still exists after the quake? Your thought always seems to go there with such devistation all around you. You could go mad thinking about all the people killed or impacted by a disaster that lasted 45 seconds. It is hard to immagine what that sort of nightmare that must have been.














This is where I have been sleeping it is very hot at night and lots of mosquitos to keep us company during the long nights. the mosquito net and 100% deet seems to keep them away for a few hours but eventually they seem to find and opening or in your tossing you create an entry for them. At this point your mosquito net and bed combine to make an aviary and you are the "soup de jour" for the persistent little beasties.
