By Dr. Jesse McLain One of the first questions people asked when I returned from Haiti last week was, “How much progress has been made in the reconstruction?” The answer is complex. While much has been done to clean up and rebuild following last year’s earthquake, much more remains to be done. The enormous loss of life and crippling injuries will permanently affect all of Haiti’s people, and the underlying…

What A Blessing! My husband Don and I are returning to Haiti in November and we are very excited to see the progress since our first trip. The new volunteer housing is complete.
