Predicted Death Toll 200, 000 Then This

In Right Here Right Now on January 16, 2010 at 1:38 pm

After three days of death, destruction, desperate need for aid.

A cry beneath the rubble.

A translator quick on his feet.

A baby unscathed. Dazed, glazed in dust.

Fate? Good fortune? Hand of god?

Whatever it means, however it happened, there it is.

Sliver of hope.

  1. I love you for that. I will never give up HOPE.

    I had a dream. You and I were together laughing at the joy of one child …

  7. A most moving video. I’m grateful that this little girl was rescued.

    Karen, I hope you don’t mind, if I take this opportunity to mention that people can donate $5 to Haitian rescue efforts by texting YELE at 501501. For more info go to http://www.yele.org/donation/

    Also, if anyone is interested in the history of Haiti, and why Haiti hasn’t been able to escape from poverty, Ashley Smith has written an excellent article at counterpunch.org. http://bit.ly/8wPrAm

    This people of Haiti are certainly in our thoughts and hearts. They’ve had so much trouble. May their future be bright.

  8. Oh, Karen. I’m crying. I won’t forget Winnie. There’s so much hope in one life.
