Haiti Update--mom and pops version

My mother emailed me last night. Things are calming down according to her. It's funny because the news report that NBC ran made it sound like it was still extremely unsafe and that people were skeptic about the violence ending. She went to Universa (which is a small grocery store) and said there wasn't much food there because they didn't get any orders. Nothing there was damaged and I was told the two main grocery stores in PAP were fine too, along with the Epidor! Which I was relieved. My mom said that they expected to open thie clinic today and the tap-taps should be running. Hopefully, things will calm down but in way they shouldn't This isn't a problem that will go away once the violence stops. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. I wish I could fathom an answer to this problem but its just so beyond my thought process and everyday life. It just bllows me away.
