PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - Laura Lee fades in and out of sleep as her adopted mother, Roberta Edwards, tries to find a route home. They spent most of the morning picking up supplies and checking on Christians still living among the ruins of Haiti’s capital.

As they head back, almost every road leading to the Son Light Children’s Home is blocked by United Nations troops. It’s rumored that Bill Clinton is in town.

Peering over the cracks in the windshield, Edwards steers the Daihatsu truck down a narrow backstreet, hoping the way is clear. Laura Lee, who just turned 7, gazes at a wall of concrete that’s leaning sideways, ready to fall.

“This place is broken,” she says, wearily.
