Dr. Tiffany and a team will be arriving in Jacmel in the next day or two.. They will be using our schools as hospitals.. SAHAR is safe, who is a friend of ours from Alberta who is a midwife in Haiti. That is such good news... Danny has a couple hundred living at his compound or in the fields around his house... The airport in Jacmel is open for smaller charter flights...
WISNER is safe.. He was going to university in PAP and living in a house we rent there for students..the house was destroyed......he is back in Jacmel...
We still have no word from some areas that we cannot reach by phone as yet in PAP, Basfrontal, Savanette, Camatin, Below, Ausome Pete, Carfour Raymond, Leoganne, ... .
I will post as soon as I hear something.
We are loading a container of food that Prairie Gleans have been dehydrating for us for the last few months along with other supplies..
..For the team that will be sending hospital beds and other supplies for Sarah please contact our Earthquake Relief Co-coordinator John Devine here in Medicine Hat.. e-mail .. lifelinejohn@hotmail.com or ph. 403-928-0241 or 527-5615...
If you are looking for our contacts that will be putting a container together in Steinback or Winkler, just drop me a note..
There is also a couple of containers of food being prepared by Urgan Refuge and Evergreen church in Minniapolis that will be shipped in the next month or two. They are partnered with Kids Against Hunger and are a huge help.... Thank you...
The port in PAP is still closed but by the time we have these containers down there it should be open or close to being open.. There is so much need now but even if it takes a month of two for these containers to get there the need will be just as great...
Thank you for all your calls and words of encouragement... We are still in need of financial support to cover the immediate needs... The bank in Jacmel is suppose to be open of Monday... This way we can wire the money to purchase any food that is available to feed the starving people in the regions we have our schools.. We have 300 staff on the ground there helping where ever possible.. We have 50 churches in Haiti that we support that are in desperate need of help also..
Here is a list and much more that we are in need of ,..... non perishable food, tools, lumber, wheelbarrows, re-bar, cement, batteries, inverters, electrical wire all sizes, con duets, piping for plumbing, pots and pans, kitchen utensils, beds, tables and chairs, all kinds of furniture... vehicles, quads, motor bikes, whatever can fit in a container including smaller school buses. we already have many cases of cloths so I would hold off on that for now until further notice...We are limited to 40,000 lbs per 40 ft. container and everything has to itemized when packed..
. Thanks so much for your prayers...
Because of His amazing grace.......... Bob & Linda
