Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for the outpouring of concern about the situation in Haiti. Our
thoughts and prayers are with everyone there.
We have heard from our Operations Manager Antonio Kebreau that he is safe.
No other staff has reported. The Healing Hands for Haiti compound is
located in an area reported to be especially hard hit, but we have no first
hand reports. A HHHIF team from Minnesota is supposed to travel to Port au
Prince on Saturday but we are awaiting word whether that will happen. The
HHHIF Executive Board will hold an emergency meeting Thursday evening after
gathering reports today and tomorrow and make decisions about our short term
needs. I have heard from a number of orphanages that they are safe and no
children were injured. NPH's St Damien's Hospital, which is near the
airport and new US Embassy, reports damage but no casualties.
If people want to make an immediate impact please consider donations to the
Red Cross and / or Doctors with Borders. Both have a large presence in
Haiti and are equipped to provide immediate help.
We will try to keep the HHHIF website update with information about our
colleagues. www.healinghandsforhaiti.org
