Karma payment plan

currently dropping off supplies to orphanages. (see picture to left) there are so many new orphanages new orphanes and a big need for them to have supplies. currently also allocating medical supplies to hospitals- medical supplies they need not stuff like breast implants that for some reason made their way down here! also emergency transport of patients. i do a very bad job at blogging but please check out these blogs of people i have worked with on the ground to get a better idea of what i do.

I cant explain it. I cant comprehend it. The first time really debriefing. Sitting  around diner talking about what we are doing, about what we have done. A second to think, diner with a lot of the people who have a special place in my heart connected to all of the roles I have played in Haiti. I feel strange talking about that first week after the earth quake, watching videos and looking at pictures of what was the chaos then and what is the chaos now.  Trying to imagine what it was like back then. how we speak casually of how traumatic things were. The question asked  “how can we ever return to normalcy?” then thinking about my local Haitians friends. what it must have been like for them what it is still like for them.

 

Seeing everything the transition from right after the earth quack to now. Things that went well things that deteriated. How can you leave .  still working the 20 hour shifts I used to but much different frustrations.  Realizing how much I miss my family how much I have seen and wondering how much this has changed me. I can never go back to what I was before.  But I have learned alot

 

The father who’s son was transferred by the French out of the country the  desperation surrounding him as I walked threw the airport field of countries looking for the French flag only to be disappointed more despair.

 

The children I have seen die, the families pain. The lack of organization, the lack of planning the lack of real services. Walking into a tent city carrying patient out on a bed,  rain, starvation.  Kid being beat by the police.  Craniotomy done in the room. The dead gentleman not revived from the CPR lying next to the new mother placenta on table….. but then the patient we transferred, the one that they thought would die, responding to verbal command, young boy a glimmer of hope.  Dropping of the supplies immediately needed. Collaborating with groups that have similar goals. Working hard to make a difference.  Getting the patient the care they need.

 

Help is still needed there are still tent cities with no tents, there are still hungry people and piles of rubble, and people dying… help 

at the airport in Miami heading back to Haiti. home for a little over a week, the time flew by. while i did not get to do the top 3 things on my list of things to do i did get to see a lot of my friends and family, i got to work on the HIV van, do my taxes, eat fresh food, fix my computer and enjoy spring weather. 


I want to say thank you again to all those that have been so supportive especially my family. You are in my heart and thoughts all the time. It has been hard to switch my mind away from haiti for such a short period, so while i might have been a little pre occupied on my trip home know that i love all of you, and im taking care of myself. please feel free to continue to watch my progress via facebook or check out globaldirt.org

Haiti still needs your help- i cant even begin to describe the conditions on the ground but i will try- Hospitals need help, tent cities need help, orphanages need help, everyone is still in need of help. while meetings are important there is a need for action now! CDTI a big hospital in PAP just closed, Medishare has shut their doors to new patients (for good reason) but the fact is people need medical attention now and the amount of places to receive them is dwindling. Basic human needs are not being met. However there are organizations doing good work, please continue to support those on the ground doing work, the need is now, lets work to get food out, lets work on getting them shelter- all of this are things my group works on now. We see the difference we make everyday but Haiti needs more coordination, organization and movement.


The saying "be the change you want to see.." is very relevant.
