Visit to Pays Pourri

 Last Wednesday, I (Aaron) had the amazing opportunity to visit the region of Pays Pourri to see some of the damage that resulted from the tropical storm Isaac. I seen many houses and churches that had lost complete roofs, some even collapsed. Also, we visited three families that had lost children in the storm.


This family lost two children in the storm. 


 This family lost one child in the storm.


 A church that lost its roof.


 Another family that lost a child in the storm.


 This church lost one half of its roof.


These mountain folks are very resilient.Already they are doing what they can to make their houses dwell-able. It was quite amazing where some of them are living now. 

Many homes were lost, most all of their field were flattened. To see more pictures, you can view the following web album: https://picasaweb.google.com/102771674354323845206/IsaacDamageInPaysPourri?authkey=Gv1sRgCPeSnKrausX_8gE
