Discovering Resilience: My Life-Changing Journey Through Post-Earthquake Haiti

Haiti was the scariest, most fulfilling trip of my life. We had seen footage of TV about the earthquake's devastation, but until we arrived in Port Au Prince, I really had no idea how bad and how widespread it actually was, and unfortunately, still is. Even though there was destruction everywhere we looked, the people were just amazing to watch. They were dressed in the cleanest clothes and evidently took a lot of pride in themselves. The schools and orphanages really hit me. The teachers and administrators were really trying to help the children learn so they could have a better life than their parents.

In America, we do not realize how blessed we have been for as long as I can remember. We take for granted things that the Haitians will never get to experience. My prayer is that we will never forget the people and the situations we saw in Haiti and that we will work to contribute to helping the people climb out of this hole Satan has put them in. Thanks, Live Like Jesus Today Ministries, for allowing me and my family to be a part of this, and we hope to go somewhere again next year.

Love, Ramona
