Earthquake Update 5

From Executive Director Brian Kelso, during his March 3rd-5th trip to Haiti:

Wednesday Update | Thursday Update

Went to the property this morning and prepared a truck load  “boxes of love” donated by Rio Vista Church for a pastor from PauP. PauP is still in a lot of need so we give him some traps and water along with all the crutches, walkers and canes we had.  He was suppose to come at 9:00 but he didn’t show. So we use the rest of the morning to organize the 2 containers we have on site for future containers. God has put together a great staff. Everybody is working together and working hard (having some fun along the way too).
 
Later in the morning we went to visit the Mayor about the future food distributions and tent village project. When we got to his office we were told that he just got called to a meeting in PauP. So we went to see Pastor Konal at New Jerusalem school and deaf orphanage to talk about the March teams doing medical exams and developing medical files on each child. As we journeyed to new Jerusalem the Mayor pulled right in front of us and wanted to talk before he went to PauP. We had a great meeting about the food and tents. The Mayor also told us how the schools have become over crowded with non-paying students – families that have relocated from PauP. I told him that we would see about a scholarship program. At the end of our conversation he told us about a school that really needed some food. We told him that we would keep this school in mind for future deliveries.
