230,000 people died as a result of the
earthquake.
Many more died and are still
dying as a result of the cholera epidemic.
"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them."
Laurence Binyon

I am highly disappointed in the American media's lack of coverage of the situation in Haiti. There's so much that America ought to be doing to help. I pray that churches will get involved more.
ReplyDeleteHey, Ted. My heart has been going out the Haitian people and my family has been praying for them. I hope that you remember me, David Ringley from ORU school of Telecommunications. How can I get in touch with you?
