this is his explanation… they took a lot of stuff – seems useful.

i think the value of having a key person experience these sorts of events is probably undervalued… i think that’s the reason pple like the head of the UN and obama have also visited… they were probably less useful on the ground (needing additional security/entourage etc).
And who knows who the pastor in question spoke to, prayed for, healed, gave hope to?
hmmmm….

I do appreciate the fact that it might help us outside to see what is going on there and maybe he brings a different perspective than the news, but an aid worker could do the same thing and be helping too.
I think Truman Capote’s House of Flowers was set in Haiti, but I could be wrong.
