    “At 4:53 p.m. on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, Haiti plunged into horror” (Lahens, 2010, p. 9). The earthquake affected three and a half million individuals, left two hundred and twenty thousand people dead, and destroyed four thousand schools (DEC, 2015). It is safe to say that Haiti’s recent history has been dramatically shaped by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake (DEC, 2015) that struck in 2010. Understanding both the gravity of and the world’s response to the 2010 earthquake is essential in understanding the destructive relationship that has existed between Protestant medical missionaries and Vodun practitioners.

    My life was changed forever when I decided to go with a group from my church on a mission trip to host a bible school in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. I had been warned prior to going that it would change my life in a drastic way, but no one could have prepared me for the amount of brokenness and heartbreak I would witness. Flying into Port au Prince, even from the air I could see that the homes were dilapidated, and the ones that weren’t, were pretty close to falling apart. I could see trash and pollution in the ocean and piled up on the land, and debris still left over from the earthquake that happened in 2010. Landing in the airport was nerve-wracking.…

I looked up from the water to see the air filled with beautiful green trees staring back at me. I could just smell the aroma of bushy pines. I could hear the voices of other kids and parents talking. I looked back down at Glendale lake and saw a bundle of small gray fish swimming through the clear water, and happy birds chirping a soft melody.…

    The Étang Saumâtre also well known as Lake Azuéi is the largest lake in the Republic of Haiti and the second largest lake in the Caribbean, after Lake Enriquillo. Lake Azuéi was baptized as well because of its brackish water, it is a twin of Lake Enriquillo. This lake testifies to a period when the Cul-De-Sac plain formed an arm of the sea, which retreated during the Oligo-Miocène uprising. Its withdrawal is due to a filling of the Isthmus by the river banks of Yaque del sur (Dominican Republic). This area, currently below the sea level, was trapped in the lowest point of the depression, giving rise to lakes of brackish water.…

    The Shannon In Ireland

    The river Shannon is easily the longest river in the British Isles, running through 11 of Ireland’s 32 counties. The river also creates three lakes on it’s path to the Atlantic Ocean, Lough Allen, Lough Ree and Lough Derg. This, interestingly, has made the river a hub for transportation throughout history. In fact, one could argue that the Shannon was one of the main reasons foreigners and invaders were able to spread themselves throughout Ireland.
