More and More Shelter from the Storm

By Mark Ottenweller, M.D.

"You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm."
~ Isaiah 25:4

Malaria, dengue, encephalitis, and other diseases are coming. Cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and other diseases are coming. The rainy season is coming.

All these plagues will soon fall on a million young children and families living out in the open in Haiti.
