Jan 27, 2010 - We made it!

After a long trip, we have finally arrived!

We are being lodged on the campus of the Quisqueya Christian School, an elementary school in Port Au Prince in the Delmas neighborhood. This was a private elementary school that was closed after the earthquake and turned into an impromptu Earthquake Crisis Center.

In addition to us, they are currently housing multiple medical teams from across the U.S. and other countries. It is secure. We have a large tent for all of us. We feel very privileged - we have one hot meal a day, electricity, water/showers and intermittent Internet! Tomorrow, we will be going out in the community. We will update again tomorrow.
