Today marks 15 years after the 2010 earthquake in which 300,000 people were killed and injured tens of thousands of others. I was in our orphan’s home, and the force of the earthquake knocked me on my back. Sherry was in a village next door, and she said the huts bowed over and touched the ground, then came back up.

We partnered with Harvard University on our land, and had the largest field tent hospital in Haiti, with many tents. Our school rooms turned into operating rooms. So many arms and legs were cut off. We had to put the body parts in barrels and burn them. It was a nightmare. Seeing all the children suffering and those who lost their parents were unbearable.

We had a little church service among the tents every day, praying for all the survivors. The Harvard doctors said the people were healing faster than they had imagined. Thank you, to the many people who helped make all this possible. Love is something you do!
