Getting ready to "maybe" go to Haiti
April 20, 2010
My good friend Rich Bearup has been to Haiti three times, once since the earthquake and last Thursday we met a friend of his, Gertrude, who runs an orphanage for special needs children there.
He has invited super-wife and me to join a mission trip there in the fall to help rebuild the orphanage and to help in other ways. We are leaning towards saying "yes" if we can fit the pieces together.
In his latest blog post, he describes one of the biggest slums in the country, Cite Soleil, that reminds of a similar places that I saw on a mission trip to Mali in West Africa.
