I was amazed and saddened by the demolished places I have seen in Haiti. Many towns and the capital city has become like a rubbish rubble. The damage has very different impact from Myanmar after the destruction of the Cyclone Nargis in 2008. The Myanmar Cyclone swept everything away including houses and buildings, therefore the rebuilding process can begin almost immediately when resources is available.
In Haiti, the cleaning and rebuilding
process will take much longer than we could imagine. Most buildings in
Haiti were built by concrete, the dust of broken the concrete are
flying like smoke over the mountains. Clearing all the rubbles will
take months or even years.
The only few thing which can make me smile in Haiti are the buses of Haiti. The buses are colorful and decorated with flowers. It is lovely.
Quisqueya Christian School has been turned into a relief center for Medical teams for Haiti since earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010. The relief center is leading by Ted and his son Theo.
Medical doctors sleep in this kind of tent, there are over 200 medical doctors in the school campus. 5 Acres are for the relief team and the rest of 5 acres are for the U.S army command center.
Kabyar, Mee Khae, Htoo E Lyn stayed one night with me in Miami Lakes. They drove two hours to get to the Hotel. I appreciate their love for me and friendship. Its been over one months they are in U.S., i think that they are missing home and getting tired traveling within U.S
We arrived Haiti at noon. Haiti is just 2 hours away from Florida. Levi,
Randy & Kirk represent our Church leadership on this trip. Levi donated
funds from Emmanuel Foundation to various Haiti relief works. The Plane behind us is our charter flight to Haiti.
My friend, Theo at the Haiti airport. He was in Haiti since day 3 of earthquake, he needs some rest with his family in Florida. His kindness of visiting my family during our relief work in Myanmar touched my heart.He is one of the reason I could get to Haiti. Without him I may not be able to visit Haiti.
