Thoughts from the Shelf

Haiti earthquake - the problems get worse.

Just a note of support to the millions of people suffering ring after the catastrophic Haiti earthquake earlier this month.  Charity donations are still urgently needed to support the owrk of aid agencies working at the haiti earthquake disaster zone.

I have been watching the news coverage for several days, and the Haitian people seem to be remarkably peaceful and patient given the enormity of their crisis and need. Despite the problems with roads, there should be a way to get supplies into Port Au Prince. News programmes are showing doctors operating with rusted saws - at least the doctors are being resourceful and helping the people, but after this many days, there should be more organized help for these people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
