Got the following text around 7pm tonight: Made it to the house around 6. They are making the best of it. Many/most of the houses on the walk to church are destroyed. The army is now helping. Still looking for food.

Sounds like the bus trip must have been a long one. The Kingdom Kids Orphanage where mission teams stay and the kids live is just short of a mile from the church and school. It sounds like most of the homes along this route are destroyed. They were mostly built of rebar and cement blocks with metal roofs. The picture below is of that route.

It is great news that the army is now helping! However from the sounds of it, the search for food continues.

I can't say that I am surprised to hear that they are making the best of it - I'd say that's the Haitian way...

According to what we have heard, many of these homes were destroyed in the earthquake. This photo was taken September 2009.
