Torrential rains

This is a shot of the main road coming into Les Cayes.  The church in the background was flooded as most homes in the city.  The rain was torrential and came down too fast.
Here's a guy creatively using a fridge for other than it was designed.  Have heard that up to a dozen people have lost their lives just in town.  Livestock and gardens were lost.  We had just planted nine acres of moringa and I think we lost at least half in the flooding.

  1. I am so sorry. The tent city must be a mess. no words can make this seem better. I do not know if I would have the strength to endure the misery that has been thrust upon Haiti in the past 5 weeks, let alone the many years before that!
