Patrick's 2nd week in Haiti

The young people of Haiti are so resilient in re-establishing themselves as they help to put their country in order. But it will be a slow process with the needs being so great.

It is the elderly who have captured Patrick's heart this time. This lady pictured here is partially paralized and lost both her son and her grandson in the building behind. Patrick had an opportunity to meet this sweet lady and her remaining family and pray with her.

The mad scientist is testing water for contaminates.

Hygiene is so important to stop the spreading of disease. Games are a great way to teach little ones and have a good laugh.

Samaratan's Purse was given a large grant from OFDA (Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance) for the building of 2000 latrines. Patrick is working with Pastors and camp committees to arrange for the excavation of the latrines, with a crew carpenters following behind to do construction.
