Report from Art Clawson, August 25, 2010

My first three weeks in Haiti has been an emotional roller coaster. Having served here before as a missionary and having been done on three work teams since the earthquake I thought I was prepared and knew what to expect. Haiti has always been known as a third world country and the poorest country in our hemisphere so things couldn’t get worse. Right? Actually, things are much worse then they ever have been before. The people are desperate. They want to move forward and are doing their best to try and get things back to normal. Who would have ever thought that being a third world country could be viewed as getting back to normal?
