More news from Haiti

I wrote two more Haiti-related stories this weekend. One is about a group of college students with rescue and relief training who left for Haiti on Sunday. For the other, I spoke to Junior and Stanley Jacques - brothers who lost their uncle and grandmother in the earthquake - while they were on their way to Omaha to pick up their mom, who escaped.

Expect more on both of these stories, as well as the HLMS (see previous post) in the coming week.
