CHILDREN HELPING CHILDREN


What a joy to see how children are helping our children in Haiti.... In the photo
is Tyler & Brooklyn Phillips from Medicine Hat that have collected from their neighborhood an assortment of items that will help so much in Haiti....This will be shipped down in our next container in the next 6 weeks or so......this is just a small example of what children have been doing to help across the country.....this is above what you have seen in my previous blog with how the children from the Minneapolis area were helping with packaging up food for the children in our schools....Many have been doing fundraisers in their class rooms where the money goes toward providing school books for the children.....we are hoping to raise enough to provide an education for 13,000 children this year....thank you Tyler and Brooklyn and all the other children
across the country for making a difference ... one child at a time....

HEALTH CARE




We have returned from a trip to Manitoba meeting with supporters from Selkirk, Steinback, Winkler, Morden and area... I now leave for Slave Lake, Ab. for meetings the 17, 18, & 19th...

I spoke to the teachers that arrived in Haiti Tuesday from Medicine Hat.. they had a wonderful trip... stay posted for updates...

Regarding our specific work in Jacmel, we will be establishing a medical clinic in Chabin located just 15 minutes West of the city.
 The clinic will provide basic outpatient services. Any urgent cases will be referred to the government Hospital in Jacmel. There will be full time Haitian staff: physician, nurse, registration clerk and pharmacy technician. Volunteer teams will include four triage stations, two primary care providers , pharmacist/nurse pharmacist and up to four general support staff. Our goal is to supplement the training of the local staff so they can run the clinic independently in the future.

MEDICAL DEPOT

Since the earthquake, we have been involved with the storage and distribution of medical supplies in Jacmel. Currently, the supplies at the depot are limited but we expect a new shipment soon from Direct Relief International. The Aid Matrix Foundation will provide training to workers in inventory supply and management. Calvary Chapel will be constructing a new depot in August with climate control. We are looking for a partner for funding for this essential project to continue.
