Our good friend Mishawn has been preparing for months to head to Haiti with a group of other nurses to provide free medical care and medicine to people there. Through Mishawn we’ve learned how difficult it is to travel in Haiti under normal circumstances: the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, Haiti is an environmental disaster to boot. Widespread deforestation causes massive mudslides on a regular basis; medical care is an impossibility for many Haitians. Now a magnitude seven earthquake has destroyed much of the existing infrastructure and killed untold thousands of people. Mishawn and her group are still planning to leave for Haiti in about a week. We will be posting photos and updates from the trip.
