A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean island of Haiti just ten miles from the capital city of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday 12 January. Local officials are reporting a catastrophe of major proportions. The extent of the devastation is still unclear, but the early signs are not good with communications down across the country.

I just found your blog and enjoyed looking at your beautiful pictures. I used to speak Italian – years ago and also spoke some when I worked with Italians here in Georgia. I can still read it but am pretty bad at speaking it. I’ll come back and read more of your posts. I placed a link on my blog for the to Medecins sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders, they have treated over 1,000 survivors in Haiti. Here is the link http://doctorswithoutborders.org/ They have a code so it can be placed on one’s blog, but I did not know how to use it, so I copied it. Giving even just a little bit will help.
I will be donating this weekend. Thanks for the updat eon Rachel - my son Ben is delighted his prayers "are working" !

So sad! I donated this morning through a page set up by a blogger (The Women's Colony). It is definately for a good cause.
