Lock-down continues... there are still many blockades between here and Port au Prince, lots of things happening there (as you have probably heard on the news). Leogane was fairly quiet, so we may get out in the community tomorrow. We'll find out in the morning. It rained all day today, which may have helped to keep things quiet. We're all looking forward to getting back to work (even clearing rubble:). Cholera has come to Leogane; there were 46 cases reported on just Monday & Tuesday this week. It's so difficult to control because there is such poor sanitation and hygiene - no understanding of what causes it. The other day, between base and the corner vender where we buy Cokes, there was a woman bathing in the gutter - which was absolutely filthy. They don't understand how something you can't see can make you sick. So instead, they blame blancs (whites) for bringing it in.
Nothing more to report...please pray that the airlines will start flying out of Port au Prince again, and that everyone who has re-scheduled flights for Sunday will get out. Also, that our flights next Wednesday will leave as scheduled, and for safe journies between Leogane and the airport. Thanks everyone! Talk to you tomorrow!
Love you Mom. Keep hanging in there, we're praying for you. Curtis and Lara.
