Here in New York I know there are many Haitians living in Flatbush as evidenced by the delicious aromas coming from restaurants in the neighborhood, especially in East Flatbush along Church Ave. near Holy Cross Church.
But it was a bit of a surprise to hear so many Haitian emigres to Ireland calling into RTE's Liveline show with Joe Duffy today. They shared how they had not been able to reach loved ones caught in the destruction of Tuesday's massive 7.0 earthquake near Port au Prince. The presenter put them in touch with others trying to contact friends and relatives in Haiti through the RTE web site and ended each call with "God bless." Human kindness goes a long way.
