Truth without Pontification!

If we say that we love one another, but do not care for our hungry and sick neighbor, we live a lie and the truth is not in us.
I lived in the Artibonite for two years working beside some of the finest men and women that I have ever known; they were Haitian. The story of Haiti is sad history, but it doesnt have to be her future. Your log tells us an oft read story of desparate people in a dire place, but your message is not tired like the others! No! It refreshs because you are telling the story for their sake and not some popular cause. Your story may not sell newsprint like the hyperbolic or the politically motivated, but it's raw-ness and unanswered calamity will doubtless save many more lives of the Haitians that I have come to love.
