A remarkable survival story

This remarkable interview with Dan Wooley of Compassion about his experience in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake has special significance for me. The hotel in which Dan was trapped, Hotel Montana, is the hotel where I stayed when I was in Haiti in April 2008.

We had to leave Haiti very quickly when food riots began to escalate. Dan was trapped under the rubble of the hotel longer than the total time I spent in Haiti.

It’s hard for me to even recognise what’s left of the hotel.
