One of the problems of thwarting the media form of TV means that when disasters hit there is almost a sense of unreality. When the Tsunami hit a few years back it was many weeks after the event that pictures started to filter through my email... pics of the aftermath. I have noticed since then that any kind of catastrophe really doesn't touch me in the way that it touches people who are inundated with pictures on the evening news. Now when catastrophes hit, I seek information rather than waiting for information to come to me.
Today I have sat here trying to find out as much as I can about Haiti. It is hard to know what is real and what is not. I've listened to CBC mostly and can only imagine the devastation.
Two years ago Hubby and I started supporting a child through World Vision. The child we support is from Port au Prince, Haiti. Her name is Rosa de la Cruz. We of course will not know for a while if Rosa is alive. We can only pray that she and her mother have survived this horrific event and that she is safe.
Please, I ask you, if you have a moment, say a prayer for this little girl and her family and all the children who are and will be so affected by this terrible event.
And if you can..... donate.... this very poor country will need so much help.
I will go now to look again at the World Vision site.
