Recovering

Road crew at work

After repair

Big hurricanes can remind us how small our planet is and how  sometimes we all share the same burdens.   Right now, from rural Haiti to New York City, people are digging out and trying to recover.   Sometimes the only difference is the tools and resources at hand.   For instance, we weren't able to find anyone with road grading machinery  near our clinic, so we relied on the resources we could find; namely picks, shovels and workers who were eager to earn some money.   As these pictures show, it all worked well.
