7.3 Earthquake hits Haiti

Just a quick blog post to tell everyone that I am fine. A quick refresher - Haiti does border the Dominican Republic and it is a fairly small island. There were a few volunteers I've talked to that felt the earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday but I wasn't one of them. I'm in the capital right now to get my greencard and a group of us came back from dinner to find on the hostel's television the news.

Right now I'm feeling frustrated. I came into this program, into this country, to work - to help people. It sure would make sense if Peace Corps would let us go to Haiti (which we are prohibited to) for a relief effort since the people there really need the help now.

That being said, I am totally fine. Thanks for thinking of me.
