     CHICAGO (ELCA) -- With the rainy season expected to begin at the end
of March, it is critical that the people of Haiti have some shelter to
help preserve health, sanitation and dignity, according to a Feb. 17
report from a Lutheran World Relief (LWR) assessment team in Haiti. To
help "beat the clock," Lutherans are working quickly to set up shelters
for Haitians displaced from their homes since the Jan. 12 earthquake.
