When the earthquake hit in 2010 New Life Links cresche was destroyed. By a blessed miracle non of the children in the cresche were hurt but they were unable to stay in the damaged building. Neighbors rallied to help transport the non walking infants to an open space in front of a local church where they were safe from after shocks.
Dr Bernard was at the mayors office at the time of the earthquake and ended up having to jump out of the building onto debris. Once free of the rubble he set to moving the children up to the guest house.. also the place where he and his family live. The children are still at the guest house while plans are underway to rebuild the cresche with enough room for the children to live, eat, school and play.. nearby!
The joy of having the cresche so close to the guest house is that we were able to go and help feed, hold and play with the children every day. My children made some good freinds while they were there and we hope to be able to keep in touch with these children once they go to their forever families.

This is truly one blog post where pictures speak a thousand words!
