Jessi’s Corner: He Comforts Me
SCORE Sends Scouts to Survey Jacmel, Haiti
Kevin Malone, former GM for the Dodgers, along with military contact Miki Padgett and journalist Rachel Turner traveled to Jacmel, Haiti on Tuesday, January 26 to assess the needs of this town of 40,000 people. The earthquake on January 12 damaged an estimated 70% of the homes in Jacmel, most of which were located in the poorer neighborhoods. Relief efforts had been slow due to the lack of supplies and focus on the capital Port-au-Prince.
Singing to Jesu
I heard a little boy singing as I entered the compound, Good Rest Mission. Walking around the corner I saw buildings in shambles. Two makeshift tents flapped in the wind. I soon spotted the singer. He was about eight years old, hunkered down moving rubble next to what was left of the security wall. He expressed calm happiness as he sang to Jesu–Jesus–in Creole.
