But Still Orphans First is helping some of them at the Maison-de-Lumière orphanage
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI (ANS) -- Almost eight months after the January 12th earthquake, Haiti’s children are still hungry, thirsty and uneducated. The billions of dollars poured into this devastated nation seem to have made little impact. | Janey with two impoverished Haitian children | Granted, the Port-au-Prince airport has been renovated (nice for those of us traveling to and from Haiti).

LITTLEHAMPTON, ENGLAND (ANS) -- Sorted this week become one of the world's first Christian magazines to launch an iPad app. | Example of Sorted iPad app |
"More apps have been downloaded than there are people on the planet and they're the biggest technological phenomenon since the smart phone," said Steve Legg editor of Sorted the UK's first Christian magazine for men. He added: "For us as an evangelistic ministry with a heart to reach the world with the Gospel, it really is a no-brainer for us to have apps on the iPhone and iPad.
