Deb Lund ad lib

Barbara Walker is one of those people you want on your side. She’s tough, determined, and not afraid to speak out. We met Barbara when we were considering adoption. We spent several days in Haiti before bringing our children home, and our visits with her there and here leave us awestruck and appreciative. It takes a certain kind of person to face the hardships of Haiti in order to provide support for the people there, and we’re grateful for Barbara Walker’s passion and persistence. Ruuska Village is Barbara’s creation, a refuge for women who are trying to get their lives in order, and for the children who find their way there.

This report shows how the recent earthquake has affected Ruuska Village.

Thank you for your support for Haiti, and for tolerating my occasional straying from writing to share our Haiti connections.
