Good News from Haiti

Good news from Haiti. Hurricane Dennis did little damage to Haiti Fund Inc's Comprehensive Development Project (CODEP).

Rodney Babe, the Presbyterian missionary who manages the project with his wife, Sharyn, said he had received an update on conditions from someone living in the mountains. The Babes were among five of us with the project evacuated from Haiti in mid-June because of increasing violence there.

Rodney said he had learned that no one in the CODEP area was hurt by the torrents of rain from Hurricane Dennis. He said he also learned that the waterside compound that serves as headquarters for the project came through in fine shape. The compound is the Babes home. The only damage, Rodney said, was some flooded gardens and broken trees. These days we're watching as Tropical Storm Emily churns westward on a course that could also affect Haiti.
