Addressing Medical Relief in Haiti

Many thanks for the follow-up. We just posted it on http://www.therotarianworld.blogspot.com/ and will post this afternoon on http://www.helphaitirecover.org/ and http://www.helphaitirecover.org/HOWTOHELPFUNDING.htm.

We have several state disaster agencies who have been in contact with us regarding goods they want to send in. Good to know you can handle it.

We also have a major Humanitarian Network Partner who is putting together a Transitional Building (see: http://www.worldshelters.com/) so Project Hope International, another of our startegic partners, will have a clean facility to perform major surjuries. Project Hope has several medical teams in country now, with much needed medical supplies and medicine.

We have several medical warehouses which can send medical supplies as a back-up to replace the local doctors who have run out, and replenish Project Hope. By copy herewith, I am asking for Jack Maxwell and Larry Biron, to send me a list of what we can send from MSNI, how much we need to raise, and we'll post that as a high priority project on The Netwrok. This and another load of Waterboxes will be a high priority on Air Haiti. We will have cost figures for the Hospital Trauma Building shortly and hope Rotarians will step up and help fund it. We could have it there in a day or so, but need Rotarian manpower to erect it over in Port au Prince.

More again shortly....many thanks
