The people of Haiti are still working to recover from the unforgettable 7.0 earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people and left more a million homeless. It's been exactly two years for the survivors.

 
 
But the signs of that devastation are slowly disappearing from the streets. And the spirit of the Haitian people is stronger.
Thanks to organizations like Operation Blessing.
"The last two years have been just flat out. We have been working non-stop on relief projects and development projects - saving lives after the earthquake," David Darg, director of international relief for Operation Blessing, told CBN News.
"I mean we have lost count of how many lives we have saved from the doctors we've brought in," he said.
Outreach that Matters
Operation Blessing brings in medical teams from the Mayo Clinic each month, administering anti-parasite medication to people in need every day.
And, it's one of the leading organizations tackling the water crisis in the country.
"With the introduction cholera in 2010, it became a crisis," Darg explained. "Still today, Haiti is the world's largest cholera epidemic. So clean water is essential. It is probably the biggest need for the nation right now."
While water is still among the country's immediate needs, the relief organization is also focused on its future. Workers have recently built a school here in one small village.
"In a very remote village. It is one of the poorest villages that we've found in Haiti," Darg said. "And so you have the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, the poorest village in that country."
"It's just extreme poverty and need and Operation Blessing is moving beyond providing relief items," he said.
