(sunrise from JP HRO camp)
Waiting to board my flight out of here, after saying goodbye to so many amazing people. Feeling very emotional at the moment- there was so much sadness yesterday. Our lovely little girl who has been adopted by our camp started crying last night and couldn't stop, and she never cries. All she could say over and over was "mama, mama, mama" while she cried her heart out. The tears streamed down my cheeks as I held her close to me. Today I grieve for all those who lost mothers in this country, as I return home to the safety of my own family. And I say goodbye to this amazing country with a heavy heart- may your strength and resilience see you through this. Je t'aime, Haiti.
I could say nothing, because what do you say to such deep profound sorrow? It is unfair for a child to be left alone. But fortunate for her that people like you & your peers are there to show compassion & humanity.
