Relief Team Arrives

Volunteers with Haiti Foundation of Hope have teamed up with Medical Teams International on a disaster relief mission to Haiti. The team members arrived today in northern Haiti, not far from Gonaives. Here is what they report:

Two days after leaving Portland, Ore., we arrived safely with a wonderful reunion with our friends. Fortunately the building within the campus (where the team is working and which includes a medical clinic, school and church) are in excellent condition, although we saw horrific destruction on the route here. It is shocking to see the water that extends well into Gonaives. There is mud everywhere, many household goods on the roofs, and the feeling of despair and hopelessness of what to do next seems to be all around us in Gonaives. All of our supplies arrived intact, and everyone on the team is healthy. As we prepare to help relieve the suffering that is all around us, we ask for your prayers.

Damage Update

We are learning more about the destruction caused by the recent tropical storms and hurricanes that struck Haiti in the past few weeks.

Homes have been demolished and many of those left standing are now filled with mud. Some of the staff who work at the Clinic of Hope in Terre Blanche have lost everything. Travel is nearly impossible, especially coming from Port-au-Prince north to Gonaives. Bridges on both routes have been destroyed. The United Nations reported today that more than 500 people were killed in the storms and as many as 800,000 people have been affected. Churches and schools have become places of refuge but are struggling to help all those in need.

The start of school has been postponed until Oct. 6. In Terre Blanche, where Haiti Foundation of Hope helps to support 800 students, text books and uniforms had already been given out. It’s likely that many of those supplies were lost in the flooding and will need to be replaced.

Through it all, people are helping one another. The principal at the school in Terre Blanche walked from Gonaives to Terre Blanche to check on people. Pastors and relief workers are helping people as they can and making plans for greater assistance.

Another Storm Strikes

Hurricane Ike this weekend became the fourth major storm to hit Haiti in less than a month, causing more damage and taking more lives.

Just four years ago Tropical Storm Jeanne killed some 3,000 people in the city of Gonaives and devastated the region. Damage caused by this year’s storms is said to be as bad or worse than what occurred in 2004.

It still remains unclear how many people have died due to the recent tropical storms and hurricanes. But it is certain that thousands of people are now in need of help. Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, has been struggling with skyrocketing food prices, and now food has become more scare. To compound that problem, rice fields in the Artibonite Valley have been destroyed in the floods.

As the storm season passes and the rebuilding of lives begins, we will continue to assist those in need. Please consider joining us in that task — helping to piece lives back together — by giving a tax deductible contribution to support the ongoing medical, education, employment and community health programs of Haiti Foundation of Hope working in rural northern Haiti.

Thank you for taking an interest in what’s happening in Haiti. We are keeping Haiti in our prayers as well as the many other countries and communities being affected this hurricane season.
