I don't know if I would call the area we were led to as a "tent" city and here's why: there were 754 small 8'X8' pole tents covered with sheets - no tarps.  (see video above)
 
Imagine being one of 5-7 people sleeping in an 8'X8' area ... (that's a total people population in this tent city of approximately 3770 - 5278) ... with absolutely no protection from the nightly rains that deluge Port-au-Prince almost nightly, now.  Do you have the mental image?  Watch the video above and you will see ...
 
What would you do when the downpour comes?  Would you stay in your "shelter" or would you run to the trees of any other kind of shelter you could find from the rain?  And, what about your belongings if you choose to run for cover?
 
I witnessed with my own eyes people running to get out of the rain because they did not have any tarps to keep them in the dry.  Please pray that God will give all AIM Mission Teams His wisdom for how to serve His people in this area and help meet their physical needs.
 
You can be apart of helping to meet this need through prayer and financial gifts to AIM for Haiti Relief.
