I stumbled across their blog for the first time after catching up with Haiti friends, Ben and Alexis.
We met Jillian for the first time during Lent, 2009. She was one of several in the group that I vowed would become good friends during our time in Haiti. At the time, she was living apart from her newlywed husband who had plans to move to Port-au-Prince after the holidays. And he did. And they experienced the earthquake as harshly as any survivors did.
I've spent the evening devouring their blog, loving the pictures and the descriptions of daily life that at times sounds hauntingly a whole lot like pre-quake Haiti.
Because I'm not there, no longer a voice for the experience of living in that amazing country, I'd like to share their blog with you. Because they are there. Living it. Loving it most days, but honest about the grit.

Enjoy.
Kim and Patrick,
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing to post your experiences and reflections on Haiti.
Our modest Haiti task force at First Congregational Church in the safe Chicago suburb of Crystal Lake continues to meet and hope that you can continue to guide us in how we can continue to help CONASPEH to rebuild.
Appreciate any guidance in helping us to understand the best way to translate our continued concern for Haiti into tangible support from the distant suburbs of Chicago to the hills of Haiti.
Scott
