trying to relax my mind, I had the thought that I wish I could give one hot shower to every Haitian as a gift. I pictured their elation to just stand there and have the luxury to wash away all the grit and grime that I know covers them. The more I thought about it the more it brought despair knowing that 99.9% of Haitians have never stood under a hot steaming shower - PRE-earthquake let alone now.
Most have never even had the experience of standing under a little trickle or weak stream of cold water, or maybe slightly warmed by the sun. Those would be the lucky ones who had a big refillable water tank on their roof. A cold bucket bath is the norm. Just another minor daily occurrence that we take for granted. It's hard to understand all of this exists an hour and half from Miami!
