I posted some time ago about coverage, or lack thereof, on the ongoing relief efforts in Haiti. News organizations did parachute in for brief coverage marking 6 months since the deadly earthquake that devastated an already devastated country. Then they left. The challenge remains.
My daughter is in Haiti this week on a mission trip. She's working with orphans in the northwestern part of the country. One project involves building a new facility but first a large hill must be leveled to facilitate construction.
So bring in the bulldozers and earth movers right? One problem: No such equipment is available so workers will level the mountain a shovelful at a time.
One shovelful at a time.
Our daughter, in very brief phone calls home, told us about a young child left abandoned at their doorstep. She said they weren't sure of how young the child was, perhaps two. It obviously hadn't been fed much so it's hard to tell until they nurse the child back to health.
Haiti. One shovelful at a time. One child at a time. And they're running out of time.
