Dear Friend Debbie Baker lives in Kansas but works to help train people in rural Haiti to lead ecotours and track their local ecology and water quality (I promoted her ecotours for holiday gifts here). She's in Haiti right now. She's fine. Her building shook but the village she's in is standing. Communication and transportation within Haiti aren't working. I can't imagine she'll be leaving her village anytime soon. So she spent yesterday teaching people about water quality and has birding and nutrition classes later this week. She's doing what she set out to do.
Thanks to Debbie for making us aware of the situation in Haiti before the earthquake and thanks to all of you who are keeping the millions of people whose lives have been devastated, and Debbie, in your prayers.

Update: Now that there is some transportation within the country, Debbie and her village are taking care of refugees from the city. You can read more about their efforts and some heartwrenching personal stories on her blog.
Everyone loved the French books your mom sent! Good timing. The kids don't have school, but had something to read.
