This message is from a young Medical student that the team of “Haiti United Methodist Volunteers in Mission” is helping to go to Medical school. He is from Jérémie with family in Port au Prince. He is presently an intern in Cap Haitian.

“We are all scared, and I am much worrying about my family in Jeremie and P-A-P. I did not hear from them since Tuesday, just once after the quake... The house where I am staying in Cap–Haitian was terribly shaked for about 15–30 S in 4 to 5 quakes! NO COMMUNICATION YET! ALL CELL PHONE LINES ARE DISCONNECTED OR CUT OFF.

My heart is breaking and can work no longer... O Lord!!!!!! Please save my family and other brothers and sisters in Haiti.

My parents’ house in Jeremie is very old, 30 and more years old. The last time I have visited them before leaving them for Cap–Haitian in internship, the ceiling, the roof or so began to fall down crashing down in some parts. I could sadly see the materials (exhausted iron...). The fall of the construction materials (sand, exhausted cement...) I am much worrying about those hits of the quake! I am foolishly questioning me about...

I CAN NOT HEAR FROM THEM YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The people of Haiti desparately need our SUPPORT and PRAYERS.Under normal circumstances life is difficult for most Haitians.It is hard to imagine how difficult it is for the people following the earthquake. We have physicians in Port au Prince that we work with and so far we are unable to find out if they are OK.
