A look at the Hurricane through another's eyes
Take a look at Sven Homscheid's blog about the aftermath of hurricane Tomas on St Lucia. He works for GTZ on renewable energy projects in the eastern Caribbean. The kids did get back to school last week across the island. There are still many areas with out water, however.

Everyone can make a difference....and Maria is definitely doing her part!
