Dear friends, I got word from Danny that they are unloading two planes of supplies that have reached Jacmel.. words cannot describe the urgency of the need in Haiti. Please if you are able to donate to whatever organization that is helping in Haiti, please do so.. For those that know us and the work we have been doing in Haiti for the last number of years please make a donation to our mission in Haiti for emergency relief.. you are able to donate on line on our web site ...www.lifelinehaiti.com.... We have 300 staff on the ground throughout the south part of Haiti.. we need immediate cash relief but also for the needs we will have a month and a year from now.. We are preparing containers of food for immediate need when they can get into the country but also preparing containers with supplies we will need to re build.. for enquiries of what items you can donate towards the containers.. We will have containers set up in Steinback, Winkler, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.. John Devine is our emergency relief co-ordinator,
