You can be the judge. I heard about this via a FB note, but was never able to verify whether or not it had actually happened. It did. This one is in French or Creole. It’s included because it shows the president attending and speaking at one of the services.

Chile vs Haiti: A quick comparison
Chile’s 8.8 earthquake has left nearly 2,000,000 homeless, at least temporarily, but the death toll currently stands at just over 700. While this is likely to rise in the coming days, already it is clear that the loss of human life will be substantially below Haiti’s 7.0 magnitude quake of January 12, 2010, in which an 217,000 people perished.
‘Travesty in Haiti,’ book review
When I returned from Haiti on February 8, the first thing I started doing was looking for books that could help make sense of some of the things I had seen that obviously predated the earthquake: the extreme poverty, regularly being asked for money or things, and nightmarish logistical situations that seemingly prevented needs from being met. What I found was the books on the subject are few, but devastating in their critiques. I...
Engineers combine faith, skills and passion to rescue Haiti and the world
CHARLESTON, S.C.—Having provided clean water solutions to the world’s largest natural disasters—including the South Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the China earthquake and Myanmar cyclone—engineers at Christian nonprofit engineering relief and development organization Water Missions International know that the worst in Haiti may be yet to come. “For our team, the race against the clock in Haiti has moved from mere survival to preventing deadly diseases associated with contaminated water and sewage,” said chemical engineer...

The Haitian government is right to hold 10 Americans for kidnapping
The news last week of the detention of 10 Americans in Haiti on charges of kidnapping and criminal association brought pleading from three Southern Baptist Leaders and fuming from a fourth. Current and immediate past presidents of the SBC, Johnny Hunt and Frank Page, and Executive Committee President, Morris Chapman, sent a letter to President Obama urging him to do all that he could do to secure the release of “the Idaho 10″ as...
Medical missions in Haiti, Part 2
Being part of a medical mission team in an emergency situation can be a dicey proposition. Unless you are in a controlled environment like the University of Miami field hospital located near the airport in Port-au-Prince or a city hospital run by the Red Cross and guarded by the US military the response can be unpredictable. On my first full day in Haiti, we were asked to visit an orphanage not far from where...
My relief trip to Haiti with pictures, Part 1
Last week I was given the opportunity to travel with Helping Hands Foreign Missions to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, providing logistical support to a medical team in the earthquake relief effort. It took two days to get there flying from Atlanta through Miami to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. We left early the morning of the second day for an 11 hour bus ride to Port-au-Prince. I was told the distance is 156 miles as...
Haiti awaits
Sunday morning will see a team of five leaving Atlanta for Port-au-Prince to assist with medical care to Haitian earthquake survivors and logistics related to the Helping Hands Clinic outside the city. The team, part of Helping Hands Foreign Missions, has been assembled from different states and anticipates two days of traveling–including a 156 mile, 13 hour bus ride–just to arrive in the stricken area. Minuscule amounts of supplies will be taken in air...
Celebrities and the cult of over importance
Foreign Policy magazine posted a sobering history of the last half-century of Haitian “natural” disasters like hurricanes and flooding to human disasters Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier, the father and son dictators. Photo after photo and news report following news report show a level of devastation that reminds one of Hurricane Katrina or the Asian tsunami a few years back. Five thousand members of the American military are on the way to Haiti for...
