Reports from Haiti

Mar. 17th, 2010 at 11:20 AM

Picked up Doc Dude at SFO last night. Other than being charged by a rogue pig and flea-beaten he is good. His reports, however, were not. These are two of the main AP articles after his team was interviewed about the grave humanitarian crisis against women and children in the make-shift tent villages:

PLEASE, PLEASE spread the word about this horrendous humanitarian crisis occurring NOW.

This must be stopped.

Thanks for bringing our attention to this, Heidi. It's so unacceptable. I've posted a link on Twitter & FB.

Glad your husband is home safely.

Thanks for sharing this and to your husband for being a part of the relief effort. The stories are so horrific. My husband is Haitian and he is so freakin' lucky that all his family is okay.

My heart is breaking at those two news articles. I'll bookmark this post to link back to when
I do my Haiti reviews next week (I had to keep pushing it back but it's really happening next week!)

I'm sure your husband is really tired for an interview. But I would love to have an interivew or a guest post on his experiences if he has the time. But I completely understand if he can't, especially on such short notice.
