The team's leader, Jodel, spent the day ensuring that the team remained hydrated, healthy and in good spirits, among his other responsibilities. He reported that the team is cognizant of the hard work that the Japanese and Candadians are doing and that our team is seeking out and offering to support to whomever has a need. It has been a long day and the team will set aside one day this week to take care of each other and fill their eyes, lungs, and spirits full of a part of Haiti that is not currently in despair. What relief he brings in sharing this news, as my mother would not stop for one moment if she had her way. In his email this evening, Jodel made a note of the need for the team to pace themselves, which reflects an underlying knowledge that if the team is not taken care of, the members will not be able to best serve the people they have come to nurture back to health. He also shared that the team is aware of the work that needs to be done in Haiti both in the short and long term and has asked us all to pray for not only the team, but Haitians who will bear the mark of the earthquake's devastation for years into the future.
