Life in Leogane stays interesting with many visitors coming and going. There are still 3 doctors that come and stay here every week. They continue to work here in the community. They've started leaving on Friday giving us a weekend break. Clay and Omi came yesterday and are filling in for Dwayne and Heidi while they're at home. Water for Life has been here several nights since they are drilling wells here in the area. Emily is back as well after being gone for 2 months.
Clean-up seems to have started here in Leogane. Some of the schools and government places have been cleaned away. The UN is working every day at removing the debris as well as other groups. People have been dumping lots of debris in the street so that the governmnet comes to pick it up. For awhile there we had only a one way street here on the main road in Leogane. There are still many, many houses that need to be cleared away or torn down.
Yesterday we had another LOUD tremor. Normally we hear them before we feel them. This one came roaring in sending us scurrying out of the houses. It was hard enough that we could hear people in the street yelling out of fear. It brings back so many dark memories and makes the heart beat ten times faster. When will the tremors be over??? Most of us sleep inside except for the little girls and our Haitian yard ladies. They slept inside for several weeks and then decided they'd rather sleep outside again. I'm sure there are many people that will live in tents for several years. Either because of fear or because they have no means to reconstruct another house.
Please breathe a prayer for Haiti as you read this blog...
