But Still Orphans First is helping some of them at the Maison-de-Lumière orphanage
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI (ANS) -- Almost eight months after the January 12th earthquake, Haiti’s children are still hungry, thirsty and uneducated. The billions of dollars poured into this devastated nation seem to have made little impact.  | Janey with two impoverished Haitian children |
Granted, the Port-au-Prince airport has been renovated (nice for those of us traveling to and from Haiti). But little else has -- at least not in the areas where we work -- as I quickly discovered during a recent return visit with my husband, Louis. Piles of rubble create a backdrop for shoddy tent-cities, where a lack of basics such as sanitary water (or, in some cases, any water) fosters disease. Pin-thin dogs lie limp like emaciated corpses, displaying wounds inflicted by locals who believe dogs must be beaten into submission. And children play in dirt or roam the streets begging for food and water. Few attend school.
