Spoke with Dorothy for 30 minutes this week but she's heard nothing from Hanania other than when the break-in took place several things have turned up missing. It happened on a Sunday morning so someone was keeping an eye open for their opportunity.
Apparently the entire solar system, which was stored inside, was removed...2 panels, batteries, inverter, charger, small generator, TV, VCR, and DVD player also are missing. Her computer, copier and office items weren't discussed. The brand new washing machine has its own room and appears safe.
Don't be confused about the solar systems...the one at the clinic is intact. Times are very difficult in Haiti, for everyone. Hanania has moved out of her family home...lots of family moved in from Port au Prince (10 in all) so she moved across town near where Edrick lives.
D.F. and Edrick went to PAP to get the truck fixed...no luck but it still cost $400 and nothing changed...Edrick thinks they need a glo plug so we'll get working on that when we learn more.
Dorothy was shocked at how extensive the tent cities are...it takes 8 hours to drive the 90 miles south to PAP and the tarp/tent cities are "everywhere"....it's "incredible" and such very unsafe living conditions.
She shared that the elections won't be settled for some time and no one is happy with the candidates or the supposed winners. Voting stations in the north were destroyed in areas otherwise considered safe in the past. Dorothy compares the scene in Haiti to the situation in Nineva in Johah's time...I think she's right.
Soaring Unlimited has it's annual meeting today and you can expect a newsletter very soon from them...we need to find room in our hearts for those we know and love in Haiti and those who serve the Lord there. Cholera is cured with antibiotics but the clinic is out and so is much of the country.
Good news? Well just imagine how bad things would be if the hurricane season struck Haiti full force instead of a glancing blow, no pun intended.
