Ron Sachs Communications: Packing for Haiti
http://sachsblog-ron.blogspot.com/2010/04/packing-for-haiti.html
Saturday, April 24, 2010. I sat in my rocking chair back in January and wept as I watched the continuing news coverage of the devastation heaped upon Haiti by a Jan 12 earthquake. Our youngest children, Grace and Jack, decided we should adopt two Haitian orphans, one girl and one boy, and told their friends at school we might.

Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Haiti Between the Commas. When I told people I was traveling to Haiti, they often reacted like I was going somewhere ominous, dire, life-imperiling. I might as well have been going to the moon. In truth, I shared some of those concerns, which were only reinforced by State Department warnings, malaria precautions and Wiki summaries.
