Here is a story from a couple we know who live in Haiti. It is from a newsletter that they sent out. They live about 20 minutes from the orphanage...this speaks so true of the Haitian people. We LOVE them!!!
"Yesterday after an exhausting day on the tarmac chauffeuring medical supplies and volunteers, Yvonne began her journey home. The car overheated and she was forced to pull off the road. Too weary to get out she rested against the seat and resigned to waiting for the engine to cool. Where would she get water in a city where hundreds of Haitians qued behind water trucks?
Unexpectedly a Haitian voice revived her spirit, "Madame, What do you need?" In moments Haitian men with two buckets of water were releasing the radiator cap, restarting the engine, flushing the radiator and cheerfully sending her on her way. Moved by the genteel compassion of men who rose from seats in front of their collapsed home to meet her need, Yvonne wept."
