I was amazed watching both of these videos from the NY Times. The first is about treating patients aboard a US Military Hospital ship and the difficulties in getting patients to them, at first. It gives some on the ground reporting that was interesting and showed the frustration of aiding a country with little standing political authority. My friend Amanda Melville who works with UNICEF is there now with one of our babysitters,. Gina Fleurantin-Zeiss who is from Haiti. She is a huge help right now with UNICEF as she is helping translate (and of course we are thankful that she is there with Amanda). The second video is about tents being stolen and who can blame any of these people when you hear about a room full of tents and food and thousands sleeping on the street. It will very interesting and enlighteing to hear Gina's and Amanda's perspective once we are in touch.
