As time goes by and communication with Haiti gradually improves, the news of earthquake-related casualties continues to emerge. Many of us have family and friends in Haiti, and the anxiety of not being able to reach them is overwhelming. Personally, I have yet to get through to any of my relatives, but I hope that some of you have been more successful in making contact.

Reports have surfaced that Gracia Delva is severely injured following the collapse of Hotel Montana. Additionally, rapper Jimmy O remains missing. Sadly, we have also learned that Nouvel Jenerasyon Records producer and promoter, Joubert Charles, may have perished in the disaster.
