"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." --Marcus Aurelius

A Good Day In Haiti

Lovely Avelus graduated from kindergarten this past June in Haiti..."It was a big day for little Lovely, now 5. Two years ago, she was buried in the rubble of the two-storey house her family rented a room in by the 7.0 Richter earthquake that smashed this already broken country into shards. Lovely was counted among the dead who, by the end of it all, measured some 300,000. She emerged unblemished from the rubble six days later, and was eventually reunited with her family. No one thought they'd ever see Lovely again, let alone watch her graduate from kindergarten." A reporter shares more about the lessons Lovely and her country have taught her.
