Haiti's Children

The New York Times has a piece on Haiti's children that begins with a heartbreaking story of a little girl wandering Port-au-Prince, looking for her mother, only to see her body being loaded up onto a wheelbarrow. Within the article, though, are signs of resilience -- children playing soccer and singing songs. Stories of children in tragedy are always the most difficult to hear, but the stories of children's natural ability to adapt are also among the most hopeful.
