Another Trip to Mole-St. Nicholas
Haiti Trip; Day Five: I just saw my reflection in a bathroom mirror and I nearly scared myself to death. In fact, in a twisted and ironic kind of way, I look more like a resident of Titanyen than the guy trying to bring them some dignity…lol. Man, I am going to need a makeover

A Quiet Hero Offers His Help
Haiti Trip; Day Three: In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, many brave and honorable Haitians answered the call of duty in ways that can only be described as “heroic.” Some risked their very lives by climbing into the bowels of collapsed and teetering buildings, all in an effort to aid those in critical need.

A Humble Helper Arrives
Day Six: It is Monday morning and I am back in Port au Prince after spending two days in Mole Saint-Nicolas. While nobody can predict the future, I would not be surprised if the events of the last 48 hours will be talked about for years to come. While this space doesn’t allow for great
