Critical needs in Haiti

 I  think everyone knows that  Haiti is a poor country,   struggling in  every area of life, especially since the  earthquake of  2010.  The aid which poured in following the earthquake did not reach everyone.    Even those who were fortunate enough to   receive some help find it  winding down now.  These little ones were not  born at the time of the earthquake, though still it affects them.   The orphanage where they lived once had a modest building, but it  crumbled to the ground and has never been rebuilt.  Now the daily focus is on   finding and preparing food for the children. Clothing is minimal.  Medical care is minimal.  Schooling is minimal.  Survival is the goal of each day.
