Bringing Up Bates star Lawson Bates is all about helping others, and he’s always looking for another opportunity to make a difference. He’s currently in Haiti, as we previously reported.

Fans may know that the Bates and Duggar kids are a part of Medic Corps, which is a non-profit organization. Medic Corps steps up when natural disasters hit.

So, when an earthquake hit Haiti on August 14, several of the Duggar and Bates sons went to help out with the rest of the Medic Corps team. Since they’ve been hard at work, the kids haven’t posted on social media, but the Medic Corps Instagram page has been sharing updates.

Now, Lawson finally had a chance to share an update with his social media followers.

In a new Instagram post, Lawson gives his social media followers an update. He shared a series of photos and videos from his time in Haiti.

In his caption, he wrote, “We’ve had a rescue team on the ground, and in the air, in Haiti for the past week helping facilitate emergency medical evacuations for hundreds of critical victims. On 8/14 a magnitude 7.2 earthquake shook the country killing 1,400+ people and injuring thousands more.”

He added, “The pain and devastation is absolutely heartbreaking. Many precious people are still in desperate need of urgent help. Basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter are also becoming a huge issue.”
