Big Picture
During the earthquake relief, the internet is s source for a lot of information for us here on the ground. Particularly helpful is the Corbett list serve, which sends me everything from forwarded headline news stories to advice on where to find help for people, to personal requests from aid workers and friendly debates over relief strategies. I have pasted some of my favorite links below. I find that these provide a helpful picture of Haiti right now. The first article is AMAZINGLY written and captures a real, heartfelt glimpse of both Haiti and the tragedy. The second two give more info than some of the more mainstream articles about the spiritual vibe on the streets here. I will write more on this in my next post.
