This man was fortunate to be able to build himself another tarp shelter made out of wood and tarps.

The sign on this tree says "Canada" with an arrow. This is the name of one of the sections in the St. Louis camp. The woman who is leaning against the water container probably wishes she could be in Canada.

People try to make a home out of their tents/tarps. This woman has a curtain hanging at her entrance door.

James Calixte is a friend of the children here at Coram Deo. He often comes here to Coram Deo to visit. This is his home. He lives in the Henfrasa refuge camp. The Henfrasa refuge camp is located on the grounds of a fitness center complex.

We know several families living in the Henfrasa camp. While we were there on Sunday everyone was asking for help. They all wanted me to take pictures of them in front of their homes.

The tin roof was lifted off of Macdonald's family's home.

Rain waters swiftly ran down this ravine in Cite Jeremie.

Babies don't wait for storms and one of the women in the refuge camp on Delmas 31 was in labor and bleeding. We brought her to the Chancerelles Maternity Hospital. She had a difficult delivery and bled a lot but you can see she successfully gave birth to a 5 lb. baby boy. His name is Ivon.

We returned mother and baby back to their camp this morning. The mother was happy to be back home. The hospital wanted her to stay there for observation because she had lost quite a bit of blood but she didn't want to stay. We told her if the bleeding continues we would bring her back to the hospital. She told me not to worry and that God wouldn't let anything happen to her. Please pray for the health of this mother and her newborn baby boy.

Saturday was spent cleaning up after the storm. The children enjoyed it!
