Haiti, Cholera, and the Hurricane

Haiti continues to weigh heavy on my heart.  The cholera death toll is about 440.   And Hurricane Thomas is scheduled to make land on Friday.  Conleigh's orphanage has been told to expect 96 hours worth of rain.  They felt that their temporary plywood shelters might not weather a storm well so they abandoned their cholera induced isolation in order to evacuate to higher ground.  

If you haven't seen these pictures yet, I highly recommend them.  They are beautifully taken and are such vivid reminders of what life is like for so many in a post earthquake Haiti.  Imagine our White House still being in ruins ten months after a disaster?  Or knowing that a hurricane was approaching and living in a tent?  We do not know the whereabouts of Kenson's birth family so as I view pictures like these, I can't help but wonder where they are and if they are struggling.
