This is my new favorite picture, just sent to me by Alex Boerner, the photographer imbedded in our group. In it I am slowly and tediously giving electrolyte solution via syringe to this little dehydrated boy, near death from malaria. To this day I don't know if he survived or not.

Culture and Sensitivity
An admixture of thoughts and essays and pictures, in no particular order... just as they come to me.

Ways You Can Help Me Help Haiti....
$3 will allow us to plant a banana tree that, within a year-and-a-half will produce a #100 pound banana bunch AND will reproduce, producing shoots that can be separated from the mother plant and planted elsewhere. $5 will allow us to plant a mango or avocado tree
$100 will place a biosand water filter in a family's home, providing enough safe, good tasting water for up to ten people. Thes filters remove all bacteria and parasites from bad water, making it safe to drink. These basic and durable filters last 10 years with very little maintenance.
$5 will place a Creole-language preschool level reader in the hands of a young Haitian child.
$20 will provide materials to build a latrine for a Haitian family

Thank you so much for sharing this today...and your time. You had a full day and yet you took the time and it meant more to my spirit than words can say. Thank you seems too small a word...but thank you.

What a beautiful child - his eyelashes are gorgeous! I understand how the people of Haiti grab on to your heart. Thanks for going, Steve, and thanks for all you are doing and have done in the past.

Thanks for going Steve. So much of what we do remains in God's hands...

Just read this today at Bible Study:
"If anyone gives even a cup of water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." I know you don't do this for a "reward" but still, thank you for giving in Jesus' name to these little ones.
