Owen 8:00pm: People are starting to come back with news of who’s dead and who’s alive. Its pretty horrific. Every time someone arrives there are some people who are relieved and others who are horrified.
People are standing outside of the gate of the school, everyone
waiting for news from Port-au-Prince. I walked to Nan Kafe today with Tiyouyout, while walking we heard a lot of cries and screams, one family lost five kids when the roof of their house collasped in PAP.
It is really though when ever a call comes in or someone comes, many
people are relieved, while others are crushed. Robert was going to go
to PAP today with one of Lubna’s uncle’s from Plenn Mapou to search
for her [Margaret's daughter], but they got news by the time they reached Ansa-Galets that she was fine, so they didn’t go. Again, its tough, a lot of people dead, as you know, eveyone here has family in PAP.
Tommorow a lot of people will be coming, Makanaki, and most of the
people from Josianne’s house. Today I was walking by a young man up
here, Jephte, I asked what was up, he said his sister is dead, gave a
little smile and kept walking. There’s not much to do but keep
walking.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for following our posts. The best way to help right now is to keep people informed and try to send them to our website to donate short and long term. We want people to realize that getting people to a more developed point takes years of commitment to education. If you have several colleagues and school kids wanting to do something for Haiti, please ask them to be a breakfast and books supporter for MCLC. We want to educate the community and spread an education that gets people to be critical thinkers and decent engineers.
Happy to have heard from you Eric.
