  • Vanessa’s experience in Haiti

    Arrival Day in Haitian Airport You know the song "Pants on the Ground?" How about "Cracks in the Walls?" That was the airport terminal. Large vertical cracks from floor to ceiling,...and large horizontal cracks near the roof line. We had to wait directly under this area,...for 10 of the longest minutes on earth.
