Witness Chaos In Haiti --
By Ryan Hyland - RI News -- 20 January 2010 |
As
president of the Rotary Club of Houston, it had
been Michelle Bohreer's dream to travel to Haiti
and conduct a service project to improve the lives
of children there.
On 12 January, 45 minutes
into a weeklong trip to Port-au-Prince to do just
that, the dream quickly spiraled into a nightmare.
Bohreer and
a team of five Rotarians from Houston were heading
into Haiti’s capital city to implement a water
project for an orphanage when a powerful earthquake
rocked the area, causing widespread devastation.
