Haiti Headlines
Posted in family news by Tim on July 7th, 2010 at 3:18 pm.
Have you noticed that you don’t hear much about Haiti in the news anymore? Looking at the BBC’s website today, top headlines today are covering the continuing war in Iraq, Lindsay Lohan’s 90 day jail sentence, and news on the World Cup, among other things… but nothing about Haiti. Even on the “Americas” page, still nothing about Haiti. The world’s attention has moved on to other things.
But the situation in Haiti remains desperate for many people, and the need for the flight services that Mission Aviation Fellowship offers has not decreased. A specific search for “Haiti” on Google’s News page reveals the following headlines:
- Red Cross Still in Emergency Mode in Haiti
- Haitian Orphans Have Little But Each Other
- Haitian Moms Still Need Healthcare
While the world’s attention may have moved on, MAF pilots continue to transport relief supplies, medical groups, and construction supplies, helping to address both the short and long term needs of Haitians. We are excited to be part of an organization that has been in Haiti for so long, that responded so quickly and efficiently to the earthquake, and that intends to stay in Haiti for the long term!
The New Arrival

We are excited to announce that our youngest son Benjamin James Schandorff, was born on the 18th of June in Boise Idaho. Ben was 8 pounds and 20 3/4 inches long. He weighs one ounce more than his brother did and is only 1/4 inch shorter. Other than a little less hair he also looks a lot like his older brother. The delivery went very well and Liz and the baby are both doing great.
