Sam called from Haiti and asked for sunflowers seeds. And books. Think about the what books you would recommend to someone. I think Sam is in that boat. We're sending The Bible, The Razor's Edge and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
He said his job has changed. He is "on call" each day at 5 am. His platoon awaits a call telling them what they are doing that day. Today he did crowd control at food distribution. It could be security, or traffic control or passing out food. He seems to like it better as far as each day has the same time frame, no rotating around the clock. He also said there are no stores to buy things from, though they can't go off the hospital grounds even if there was any place to buy something. Sam did say that at times they will be traveling and came across a road and people will have set up stand to sell something. Someone will have water, someone will be cooking and selling something, and someone something else. Other than that, the country is in ruins. No where to buy something if they could go out into the city.
