Haiti - 2 years later

Jan. 12, 2010 was when the big earthquake killed between 200,000 and 300,000 people in Haiti. Tomorrow will be the second anniversary of that terrible event. There has been some progress in the last 24 months, but not enough. Haiti was broken in many ways before the earthquake, already needing much help, and their struggle to survive continues. I found some hope when I read the article below, but also recognize that things are still moving unbearably slow - we are so blessed in the states in comparison. Imagine if our capitol building had been destroyed 2 years ago - would we have left it completely untouched? - the Haitian capitol remains in ruins. One of the things that stood out to me in the pictures of this link are of the faces of the people - not matter what, they have a strength and beauty that desires to flourish and survive. I am looking forward to reconnecting with some of them soon.
