We are the World....for Haiti

Nothing has moved me as much since January 12 as this video did.



Watch. Pray. Donate. Give. For Haiti.

Going to Haiti...and Then Back Again

In the whirlwind early morning hours of January 13, I learned I would be on the next plane to Haiti, packed my bags for the deployment, booked a one-way ticket with an unknown return date, and said goodbye to my husband who was on a flight later that day to Uganda for a month-long course on social medicine and global health. Phew!

Flash forward a month. I'm back in Boston, expecting a blizzard this afternoon, and trying to catch my breath after a crazy busy month of work. Double phew!

Am grateful to be safe and to be home with my husband again - but am also grateful for the opportunity to work with World Vision and travel to Haiti, to help give a voice to the voiceless there. Hoping to post more pics soon, but here are just a few.
