Jim Ross in Haiti Day #4

Hi again family and friends!

I stayed at a differnt place yesterday so I wasn't able to send any video. Here is a "60 seconds or less" video for today with 3 parts. The 1st part is the view and sounds from where I am staying. The second is a "tent city" we went in today. We got to talk to children and learned a lot (there are THOUSANDS of children living in tents, many of whom have lost their parents and are just trying to survive). I felt like it would have been distasteful and harmful to take video and probably not safe either so unfortunatly the only video I have is when are leaving in the car. The 3rd clip is some sweet girls I met (see if you can tell what song they are singing) living with a very old but wonderful Christian lady who was taking care of at least 11 people in her little house! I bonded with the little girl with the rose in her hand. I'm pretty sure her monther recently died so the Christian woman was caring for her. Jim

Hi all, Here is a 60 seconds or less video of day 2. It's hard to choose what to put in a video when you only have 60 seconds! In contrast to the inner city life of a street child in Port-au-Prince, we went out to see about helping children in a rural village in the eastern part of the country. The children were very sweet but lack of food (when it is not harvest season) and lack of medical care (the closest clinic was a 2.5 hr walk away!) seemed to be major problems. Jim

Hi friends and family!

Here is my first "60 seconds or less" video in many months. I was not able to send videos on my last trip to Liberia. :(

I didn't have access to my camera most of the day so I had limited video, but it was a great day so click on the following link for Haiti day #1 in 60 seconds or less! - Jim
