Haiti

It feels like the events intended to help support the Haiti team are coming more frequently now. Support letters have been written and delivered, meetings and social events have been held, deadlines have come and gone; but there's much more to come. We have several meetings in the next few weeks, and we're speaking at a large church here in Stockton on February 27th, telling the congregation what we'll be doing in Haiti.

In the meantime, this article (or something close to it) will be published in the Stockton Record to promote our fundraiser in April.
"Fundraiser for Haiti
Quail Lakes Baptist Church will be hosting a “Walk-a-Thon” and silent auction on Saturday, April 2nd, from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. Proceeds from the event will be used to send a group of ten young adults to Jacmel, Haiti, where they will help rebuild an orphanage damaged in the January 2010 earthquake. Highlights will include food, live music, and childcare.

Known as the Hands and Feet Project, the orphanage currently supports over seventy children in a city whose poorer neighborhoods were especially hard-hit by the earthquake. If you would like to walk with the team, the cost is $5, though sponsorships are also highly encouraged. The Walk-a-Thon lasts from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M., while the silent auction begins at 12 P.M. and ends at 1 P.M. Both events will be held at the church, found at 1904 Quail Lakes Drive in Stockton."

More than anything, I hope we remember our first purpose in traveling to Haiti: to honor our God by caring about those who have been affected by the earthquake.

Heroes

Although we have several examples of heroes in our day, one of the best known is of a woman named Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (“Gonja Bojaju”), who devoted her life to sustaining the “poor, sick, orphaned, and dying.” Her venue was Calcutta, India, where she served as a teacher until she began to take notice of the poverty there. Seeking to do something about it, she began an organization that consisted of just thirteen members at its inception. Called the “Missionaries of Charity,” the organization would eventually burgeon into well over 5,000 members worldwide, running approximately 600 missions, schools and shelters in 120 countries; and caring for the orphaned, blind, aged, disabled, and poor. As her personal work expanded, she traveled to countries like Lebanon, where she rescued 37 children from a hospital by pressing for peace between Israel and Palestine; to Ethiopia, where she traveled to help the hungry; to Chernobyl, Russia, to assist victims of the nuclear meltdown there; and to ...

The Nice Guy Fallacy

I read part of a poem recently by one of my favorite poets. It reads: I envy not in any moods The captive void of noble rage The linnet born within the cage That never knew the summer woods. I envy not the beast that takes His license in the field of time Unfetter'd by the sense of crime To whom a conscience never wakes. Nor what may call itself as bles't The heart that never plighted troth But stagnates in the weeds of sloth Nor any want-begotten rest. I hold it true, whate'er befall I feel it, when I sorrow most 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. At base, Tennyson contrasted a life of risk, and consequent pain, with one of security. He sides conclusively with the life of risk, and says he fails to envy those who have faced no hardship. I agree with him; and, for good or ill, his words are just as relevant today as they were in the nineteenth century. Like then, there are those today who choose to live their lives with as little risk as...

Comparative Medical Care

One thing I'd like to understand is why there is such a difference between medical costs here and those in Haiti. At the time the book Mountains Beyond Mountains was written, in 2003, it often cost $15,000 to $20,000 annually to treat a patient with tuberculosis, while it cost one one-hundredth of that-- $150 to $200-- to treat a patient for the disease in Haiti. Even if the figures aren't completely accurate, the sheer difference would still be there. Indeed, the United States pays more per capita for medical care than any other country on Earth. My first guess for why the disparity exists is that there is a market willing and able to pay more for medical treatment, so suppliers see the demand and respond with higher prices. According to at least one doctor (go to http://scienceblogs.com/denialism/2009/05/what_is_the_cause_of_excess_co.php), part of the reason is administrative prices here. People here have a higher standard of living, and so the cost of care is shifted to ...
