Tomorrow our work begins with the delivery of portable water to the people living in the slums of Cite Soliel. Without such deliveries, living there would be difficult if not impossible. Every drop is precious. Every drop is life-giving.
On our ride to the guest house, we catch a glimpse into the lives of the Haitians. Many are homeless, thrust into tent cities by a massive earthquake a couple of years ago. The effects from which will be felt for many more years to come. Many wave and smile. Some simply ignore us and focus on whatever they are doing.
Are we so different? Culture and economic blessings separate us, but are we really so different? Aren't we all just doing the best we can in life? When we look in their eyes can we not see that they too have hopes and dreams? Aren't we really united in more ways than we differ?
In the end aren't we all just one people, linked in faith, all struggling in a chaotic world.
