What more can be said about Haiti? I will not even try. Anyone who has ever visited there for a time or lived there takes with them a piece of the country in his heart and never forgets the people of this poor country.
Facebook has been a wonderful medium for leaning news first hand of things going on, as well as blogs. E-mails have come with news that one doesn't necessarily see on TV, even though there is plenty to see.
One blog I would refer you to if you are interested in reading some first hand experiences about the earthquake is Pye's in Haiti. This young couple went to Haiti about four years ago and established a children's home in Jacmel, one of the cities away from the epicenter of the earthquake and yet very damaged. They are updating every day their activities and you can get a glimpse into what many people are doing. If you go back to older posts, you can read Leeann's account of the day of the earthquake.
I was going to put links to some documents that I've received that give some really good information, but I realize I don't know quite how to do it.

I've been reading the updates on the link you gave. Haiti is so gut wrenching. I did hear that the place we stayed in Hinche is ok and Pastor Iliobert is ok. He has opened his compound as a safe house for about 100 displaced people.
I am finding since my accident, I can't sit her for my usual long periods of time, so it will take me a while to read that link - but I will. Thanks, Beverly.
How awful. I feel for those poor people.
I've had several teary moments over this, as Haiti is the country for our chuirch's mission teams. I know you are feeling much worse. Joe Arbaugh is already there, and we have a team to join him on Thursday. I am asking for money and medical supplies on the prayer line. I have been getting several e-mails from Joe, today's being the absoltute worst. But from his personal experience. Let me know if you would like me to forward it to you, but be prepared to cry.
Thank you for providing that great link to Pye's in Haiti. I shall follow it daily. I'm also happy to find your blog.
did you see the story of the 54 orphans the govenor of PA helped them bring into the US. what a wonderful story. I know this is a place close to your heart, thinking of you
Another thing to pray about - it's absolutely unreal.
