CARE Haiti staff held a moment of silence Monday in memory of their own lost family members and for their country.

At the service, people recited the 23rd Psalm and The Lord's Prayer, in Creole. Some wiped away tears.

Sophie, Patrick and Steve offered words of encouragement from the entire worldwide CARE staff of 13,000, many of whom are digging deep into their own pockets to support their colleagues in need. CARE Ethiopia staff even have offered to take a 10 percent pay cut for the month and donate the funds to Haitian staff.
