It has been a while since I have written a blog. To be honest, I had lost my appetite for it. It’s tough to admit but my motivation was and has been so challenged as of late. Haiti. I despair that it’ll never catch a break. The lack of political stability there, although not making […]

So my four year-old son, Mark, asks in the car last week, “how do people know where they are going?” We tried to explain that there are maps, and he says: “no, how do they know where they are going?” We try to explain there are schedules, and he says: “no, how do they know […]
Brad Moss is currently on the ground in Haiti with our NL team on their latest medical mission. “We’re just happy to be here.” These words were spoken by the men of NASA in response to a question by the US media about being chosen as participants in the 1960s Mercury project.

Putting a foundation down. Literally, a foundation. A footprint that says Team Broken Earth and our amazing supporters like Columbus are here in Haiti to stay. […]
