“We are still trying to find those who are lost and care for the wounded,” wrote Sr. Marie Thé from Carice, Haiti, “but we have to think of the future, tomorrow and the days after. Many families are poor and we need to find solutions for the students. We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we trust in God who loves us immensely. Our people will not die; it will live.”
