“I was in Haiti at the time of the January 12th earthquake. It
was a very traumatic event for me and I still mourn the loss of
loved ones, but rejoice that so many lives were spared. I see
the loving hand of God working in amazing ways in Haiti on a
daily basis and praise Him for the many blessings He has
showered upon our school community after the earthquake. ”
