The epilogue was written prior to the events of January 12, 2010, when a 7.0 earthquake devastated Port-au-Prince and outlying areas of Haiti. Immediately following this tragedy, Haiti moved to the center of the world’s thoughts and the world’s compassion. My prayer is that we would all continue to help this devastated country.
